Could you live in the Star Trek flat ?
More to the point would you pay £700,000 for it ?

Tony Alleyne, 58, has spent 10 years and more than £30,000 transforming the Hinckley flat, but now his ex-wife, who owns the property, needs to sell up.
The apartment features a replica flightdeck with full voice recognition technology.

Beam it up DS FM's :D

    Wasn't this guy on that Channel 4 show about 5 individuals showing off their house to each other in order to win the prize, similar to come dine with me.

    Absolutely not. I would ask for a major discount to fund the refurbishment necessary to get it back to normal. It may be important to him but he's a fantasist if he believes it will add value to the house.

    It looks like he is too as he tried to base a business around the idea.

    Maybe he will get £700,000 in the year 2364 when TNG is first set, but that amount for a small one bed studio flat? He must be joking! :eek: I am sure that I have seen it on one of those TV programmes like "May the best house win" or similar. From what I remember, it is in a reasonably modern block of flats. I suspect he will end up dismantling it in August. It would be interesting to know how much other properties in the block sell for.

    Just had a quick look on Find a property and although his flat isn't on it, the highest price is £152,950 for a 2 bed.

    EDIT

    Just had a look to see if I could find the details online. He sold it for £425,000 on ebay:eek:

    I saw that on the TV a few years ago.

    Maybe they should consider renting it out to trekkie fans on a nightly basis (there's enough of them) something like that boat house on top of a hotel idea in London, they sold out single nights for a year in a day.

    I would stay night there as a novelty and I'm not a Star Trek fan.

    I could live in that, all the artificial light looks very claustrophobic :(

    Pleased to see he finally sold it though :o:D
