Ugly House to Lovely House with George Clarke had Channel 4 viewers baffled last night when the show created a ‘pram nightmare’ home for a young family.
During Thursday (October 29) evening’s episode, viewers met Greg and Helen Watson, who had bought a home in an expensive part of Sheffield.
It needed renovating as it was too cramped for the couple and their two children.
What happened with the young couple on Ugly House to Lovely House?
They also had a third baby on the way and wanted to be moved in and settled before the little one arrived, although the project took longer than expected and the tot was born during the course of filming.
Architects on the show created an entrance to their home that comprised a series of steep steps.
They replaced the original, dated design – which featured several steps and a metal handrail – with a more visually appealing but steeper series of steps.
What did viewers say about the entrance to Greg and Helen’s home?
And those watching couldn’t believe the design, which they thought would be a ‘nightmare’ for the couple trying to get their pram through the front door.
One said on Twitter: “Haven’t they just had a baby? They’re going to love hauling a pram up those steps. Didn’t think of that, did they? Not to mention shopping bags, suitcases etc. And how soon before one of the kids falls down them? #UglyHouse.”

Another wrote: “This is important. Is there space for shallower steps or even a soft gradient ramp?”
A third said: “#UglyHouseToLovelyHouse new baby = buggy so we’ll build a multitude of steps to the front door.”

Someone else said: “This couple have just given birth to a new baby, but the architects have given them a steeply stepped entrance into their house! (Pram nightmare). And what’s with not spending any money on the ugly front façades? #UglyHouseToLovelyHouse.”
