MOST people can only dream of having a swimming pool in their home, but for one family that became reality when they decided to install one in their garden.
However, instead of putting it in their back garden where they were tight on space, they opted for the front - and they’ve not heard the last of it.
TikTok user Mrs Olive, who can be found on the social media site at @kaycalamatta, explained that she had decided to utilise the space in her front garden by investing in a pool.
She explained: “We had a very large space at the front of our property so we thought we would make the most of the area.
After splashing out £38K and a “lot of hard work”, the Australian woman, who lives on the Gold Coast, said that the outdoors renovation project was “one hundred per cent worth the effort.”
However, other social media users weren’t so sold on the idea, and asked how they planned to keep it private.

One person wrote: “So how do guests enter your house or drive up to your house?”
Another questioned: “Do you not have a back garden?”
While a third slammed the decision, describing it as “a concrete prison.”
However, answering their critics, Mrs Olive said that the area will remain “nice and private” thanks to a 6 foot high brick wall, complete with electric gates.

Others leapt to her defence, as they said they thought it was a great idea.
One wrote: “People saying it’s a bad idea.. like.. do they not want a luxury pool in their yard? They’d rather a patch of useless grass..?”

Another added: “Why are people always so bitter.. what a great use of space!"
While a third commented: “I absolutely love this concept! A great use of space & it looks so inviting!”
