Regardless of taste, or lack thereof, if you have a spare £500,000 knocking around in your skintight Starship cadet's uniform, you'll be able to buy your very own Starship Voyager-themed flat in Hinckley, Leics.
Designed by Tony Alleyne, who ran into a spot of bankruptcy, this lovingly crafted one-bedroom homage is now half the price it was when he tried to flog it on Ebay not so long ago. For your cash you get moulded walls, space age lighting, a life-size transporter room, and a ‘warp coil’, which replaced the fridge. It is quite stunning, if a bit OTT.
So let’s look at the math: he bought the flat for £27,000, went bankrupt after spending £175,000 doing it up (maxing out 14 credit cards on the way), tried to sell it for over £1,000,000 and has now dropped the price to £500,000. C’mon, help a Trekkie out. Penny for the ex-Starship Captain, anyone? Regardless of what happens, hats off to the incredibly, realistic make-over.-Martin Lynch

Not sure i could live in that, i think it would be better suited as a club or something.
Otherwise, is very impressive :)
Well the realy problem was that a man deciding to embark upon a mission to create a StarTrek flat did do in - 'Hinckley, Leics'
i think as a trekkie fan he has worked so hard and i beleive he had no help at all but my heart goes out to him i think that Tony Alleyne should get an award of some sort he has made someone very happy and i would die to protect it
