Love It Or List it couple slammed for 'worst renovation ever' of their very cramped home - which even saw them using their en-suite as a wardrobe

Love It Or List It viewers have slammed the 'worst renovation ever' on the show after a couple made minimal changes to their insufficient home. On tonight's episode of the Channel 4 show, Adie and Steven dealt with the dilemma of what to do with their four-bedroom property in Stevenage, Hertfordshire.

While Adie wanted to 'love it', adamant that their house was full of potential, her husband Steven was less convinced and want to 'list it' to give their growing family a bigger home - and with a healthy budget of £800,000, they had a lot of options.

The couple shared their three-bedroom new build with their two young children, Nathaniel and Jane, but often needed more space to host family members from Nigeria who would sometimes stay for several months at a time. Their complaints lay largely with a lack of space, as they would struggle to find bedrooms for visitors, while limited storage space left them no choice but to use their en-suite bathroom as a wardrobe.

Hosts Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer both had healthy budgets of £45,000 for renovations and £800,000 for a new buy respectively. But viewers were left scratching their heads after the couple spent a sizeable chunk of their refurbishment budget on what they described as the 'worst renovation' the show had ever seen.

After shelling out £35,000 to refurbish their kitchen and conservatory, the couple eventually decided to 'list' their original property, having realised that they needed more space to accommodate their growing family. Love It Or List It viewers were left baffled by the 'worst renovation' they'd ever seen on the show, which saw a couple make minimal changes to their very cramped house.

At the beginning of the episode, the couple laid out each of their reasoning for wanting to 'love' it or 'list it'. Steven, who works as a support worker, was set on listing, saying the family had 'outgrown the house'. 'I think we need to list it because we need a bigger place and we need a bigger garden. And we've not got a window in the master bedroom,' he said.

The couple purchased the house ten years earlier but had welcomed two children in that time, meaning it was no longer fit for purpose, with Steven yearning for a bigger garden for them to play. The inside also lacked space, with a notable lack of bedrooms for visiting family members and so little storage that Steven was using their en-suite shower to store his clothes. He also complained that a lack of window in the bathrooms was posing a mould risk.

Meanwhile, risk officer Adie was desperate to hang onto their beloved family home, insisting their spatial issues could be fixed with a bit of innovation. 'We just have to be creative my love, it is possible,' Adie joked to her husband. She said she loved the 'location of the schools, the gym,' and said she saw 'potential' in the house and was 'yearning' to put her 'stamp on it'.

Viewers pointed out that 'very little' had seemingly changed after carrying out the renovations. Pictured: The bathroom after the renovations. On tonight's episode of the Channel 4 show, Adie and Steven dealt with the dilemma of what to do with their four-bedroom home in Stevenage, Hertfordshire.

'We have a network of friends which is not something you build overnight,' the mother-of-two added. 'Perfectly decent size, just not for a growing family and visiting grandparents,' said co-host Kirstie, adding that the current situation wasn't 'working'.

Phil was keen to show the couple a selection of properties, with a budget of £200,000 over the area's average for a four-bedroom property. He showed the couple three properties in an attempt to persuade them to 'list it' - including a four bedroom semi-detached house just a five minute drive from their original home.

Priced under budget at £620,000, the local property would mean the two wouldn't need to make any drastic changes to their lives, with schools and kids clubs nearby. But both Adie and Steven had a negative first impression, with both complaining about small bedrooms and conservatory, keen to expand the size of their home as much as possible.

Another five-bedroom £720,000 house, which included a glamorous cinema room, bar and floor space double that of their current house, impressed the couple. Adie said there was 'a lot of potential' but Steven had his reservations, still keen to nab them family a bigger garden.

'The changes in the house are effecting Steven a little bit, but because I love the area, I don't think they have chance of convincing me to list it,' the mother-of-two said. A third property wowed the couple, with both falling head over heels for a £825,000 six-bedroom in Lower Stondon, just 30 minutes from their original home.
