Tony Alleyne, 54, is a Star Trek fan who turned his flat into a replica of a Star Trek ship. He sold it on the 16th of May for a massive £425,000.
Alleyne spent two years and £30,000 turning his one-bed studio flat in Hinckley, Leicestershire, into a detailed copy of the starship Voyager's flight deck. He put his flat up for sale on eBay a month ago with a guide price of £130,000 - £50,000.
He originally themed his one-bed home on Captain Kirk’s famous Enterprise spaceship and tried to sell it for £1.25MILLION, but could not find a buyer. He then updated it to a replica of the later Voyager version.
The winning bid was made by a millionaire Birmingham businessman.
The flat is fully equipped with LCARS, Ops units, voice activated lighting, back-lit panelling, various lighting effects, Transporter Pads and a full scale Transporter Control Console with built in sound effects.
Alleyne started work on the flat two years ago after his marriage broke down.
Last February he filed for bankruptcy but despite going bankrupt, he refit the flat using income support payments.
