Picture of the Week: It’s a flat, Jim, but not as we know it

Here is our picture of the week which will transport you to where no human has gone before.

Well, apart from selling agents Hope Estates, who have boldly come up with some imaginative details for the studio in Hinckley, Leicestershire.

“Calling all Star Trek Fans!
“Have you always dreamt of having your own Voyager?
“The opportunity of buying this unique and extraordinary Star Trek Voyager Flat replica has arisen!
“Step in to the Voyager and let your imagination do the rest. This unique property has been custom made by a real Star Trek fanatic. You won’t find any other property like this one, this is truly unique, don’t miss it!
“You will find all of the smallest details from the movie franchise. You will have your own Transporter with the main commands control at the heart of this wonderful living space.”

The flat has history. Suffice to say that the wife won it in a divorce settlement some years ago and is now trying to sell it for around £70,000.

In 2004, her ex-husband tried to sell it for £700,000, but it failed to get lift-off.

Today, we note it still commands a premium over other properties in Granville Gardens, Hinckley.

And you will be the judge as to what it might be worth in 2370.

It’s conveniently located if you are a down-to-earth sort of person. By Voyager, it’s only a short flight to Sheepy Magna and Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

It’s on Rightmove here

        ooow err missus 😳

        Not at all but if you notice Peebee must take technology to bed with him. I  get up early to find posts from Peebee at 1:30 – 2 am and he checks in  again 4 or 5 hours later.

         

        The Peebee mystery deepens!

        Some say he isn’t an agent at all,  some say he was the inspiration for Dave from the money supermarket ad. All we know he is …Peebee

          Now we’re confusing alternate realities, Robert.

          Even using Trans-Warp technology I couldn’t be both ‘Dave’ AND Chief Engineer of Starfleet’s Passive Intermediary Eradication Unit…

          …could I?

          ;o)

            That wouldn’t be the weirdest thing they have come up with!

        That’s taking ‘boldly going where no man has been before’ a tad far!

      Robert – my offer was submitted last week via time-warp technology.

      Unfortunately, they wanted an extra two bars of gold pressed latinum than I can afford… so now I have to look for another home for me and my family of Tribbles.

      Live long and prosper… PeeBee out.

      Oh, wilko…

        Actually, beginning to worry about myself as well……I think I’ve got a bad case of post traumatic multi – offer syndrome.

    From what i understand, its not just the decor putting people off purchasing the property. The owner (male) has a very disturbing past …
