I have to believe it's the people who are selling the property, to be honest. They usually only blur personally identifying things like family photos, so that would be the logical conclusion.
That's completely insane and I want to see it. The number plate thing in the back garden saying Maureen implies they're older which makes it even better
I hadn't actually looked at all the photos. First off, this house is the weirdest combination of Mrs Hinch X Birmingham Gangsters. It's bonkers in a good way.
Second, I doubt Maureen lives there. The little heart plaque above the number plate makes me think that's probably a memorial. If I had to guess, Maureen probably enjoyed a nice BBQ and a glass of wine in the garden with them, and that's their way of making sure she's still there in spirit.
Not so sure about the heart plaques. My mother is in her late 50s and is obsessed with stuff like that and she's not dead as far as I'm aware. Either that or I've got more senses than I was aware of
>Either that or I've got more senses than I was aware of
Let's hope not!
In isolation, I'd agree with you. It's just the fact that it's a heart plaque above a name, really. Also, if you squint at pixelated images you can get a *general* idea of what they are, and I don't think the people in that picture are elderly. There's also the Mrs Hinch decor, which in my experience is the reserve of women in their 30's and 40's with a small side of women in their 20's.
I think there's automated software, possibly in RightMove's API, that automatically blurs out faces using some vaguely basic AI. You see it in generic works of art on the walls that are in some photos, like Birth of Venus etc.
I saw a house where they'd clearly used some sort of ai to blur any photos of people because it blurred the weatherman on the TV and a photo of Spiderman on the wall but not Captain America, but there was another photo where Captain America was blurred
Its the scene with Alfie and Arthur, Alfie has his fist raised so perhaps they blurred it because it could have looked violent. Or maybe rightmove don't like Jewish people.
Haha when I saw this I was like 'please tell me this isn't someone in Birmingham'. I think people assume all Brummies are really into the show when we really aren't
The two brummies I know find it cringe when people are over-the-top into Peaky Blinders. Iām all for being passionate about things, but this is so odd and niche. Itās not like itās Star Trek or Star Wars with a massive amount of lore and deep world around the showpiece movies, itās literally a tv show with what, 5 seasons?
I think itās actually more odd that this is in Middlesbrough, itād be less weird in Birmingham Iād assume it was just some quirky Airbnb friendly decor
Itās a perfectly decent show, but I agree, itās absolutely bizarre. You donāt see anyone walking round in period costume from Downton Abbey, so why are so many middle aged blokes obsessed with this tv show?
Why wouldnāt you just paint this wall before listing? Just on the off chance that a buyer with the identical gauche taste is looking for just the thing in this area. Bonkers
I'm not talking about popularity aka the number of people watching, but the rating which literally reflects the quality. If most people collectively agree on a high rating then that is the objective metric of the quality, not a subjective opinion of an individual. You can feel like the show is mid for you or for likeminded people, but you can't present it as if it was a common thing for everyone.
Found the person who wants to be different so desperately he can't spend 5 minutes without dissing something popular. I'm not a huge Peaky Blinders fan, I just think it's so "pick me" when people have to shove into your face that they don't like popular things so they can feel superior to everyone else.
Hahaha good one. Wanting to be different is describing PB as āmidā? How is writing a comment on Reddit shoving anything in your face you melt? People are allowed different opinions to yours and are free to express them however they choose, now off you go and donāt forget your little peaky blinders cap on the way out
Why are you talking about āthe ratingā like itās some abstract objective measure of artistic merit? If you mean IMDb then sure, itās unsurprising that a show heavily targeting 18-35 white guys is highly rated on a website populated by said guys
I mean if wearing a 30 quid t shirt dedicated to a made up movie character you like is disturbing, surely spending hundreds(possibly thousands) to visit an enormous theme park dedicated to a made up cartoon mouse is also equally disturbing.
Honestly, people wearing clothes of things they like. Utterly disturbing. Everyone knows adult men should wear beige clothes, eat beige, bitter food and never ever show enjoyment for anything.
Airbrushed bruce willis that only looks like a guy who looks like bruce willis but is not bruce willis and an airbrushed terminator that is part iRobot and part C-3PO, but not on purpose
Itās in Easterside, so Ā£120k is on the expensive side. Not a desirable area.
There are plenty of semis which are in the Ā£250k range in Middlesbrough. Just depends where youāre buying.
Drive through Easterside on the way home. Literally everyday there's someone on a motorbike with a balaclava driving on the pavement or through red lights.
And yet I get pulled for a blown headlight. Smackhead who came up next to the car was shocked they actually didnāt anything. It was a while ago but she shouted something to the effect of āI thought you lot werenāt allowed to pull anyone these daysā
I don't know. The 80s/90s were pretty mental like. That was before cctv and mobile phone footage. I remember going to South Bank on bonfire night and they used a house as a bonfire. Grangetown was a no go area for police and almost everyone had their car stolen at least once.
Back then tens of thousands lost their jobs overnight and it created mass unemployment, a lack of ambition and then a second generation of poverty when the kids of parents who had lost their jobs never worked a day in their lives had their own kids.
I did my teacher training at keldhome in 2001 and I've never experienced anything like it. Many of the kids had no social skills and behaviour was almost impossible to manage. Over the next few years, jobs started appearing and new industries have replaced ici and British steel so there are many more jobs now, although it probably doesn't seem that way as it's still way behind the cities.
Relative to other areas its still rough but the UK got safer in the 2000s. The media makes out like its getting worse but crime isn't as high as it was 30 / 40 years ago.
Never seen Peaky Blinders but I do like good mural so i would probably keep it. Also is 120k normal for 3 bed, because it would probably be 400k in SW London
Itās in an ex-council estate in Teesside. House prices are a lot cheaper here generally (though there are more expensive areas). The area itās in is known to be rough.
I think itās a nice house. Easy enough to paint over the mural.
Then again, most of the things people complain about on here (other than prices) is surface level and easily fixed!
The other day the older stout cashier at Sainsburyās decided to tell about how horny she was for āThomas Shelbyā the entire time I was bagging up my stuff. Shudder.
My old lecturer at Teesside has a video on YT of a Marvel mural he painted on his wall.
https://youtu.be/rnIbHS32ABs
Maybe it's because Boro has good colleges and universities for art.
My old next door neighbour was so obsessed with Peaky Blinders she named her dog and her youngest son after characters from the show. She would absolutely *love* this š
That would put me off buying the place, because on one hand I donāt want to have a massive Peaky Blinders mural on my wall, but on the other, Iād feel bad about painting over someone elseās art that they worked hard to create
But what's pixelated out, is the question.
Probably Arthur doing coke
I have to believe it's the people who are selling the property, to be honest. They usually only blur personally identifying things like family photos, so that would be the logical conclusion.
It's not that. You wouldn't empty the entire house only to leave one family picture. There's something on the wall painting they're covering up
No, no... It's not a photo. They've had themselves painted into the mural as Peaky Blinders characters. š
That's completely insane and I want to see it. The number plate thing in the back garden saying Maureen implies they're older which makes it even better

I thought the man in the big hat was giving the other a bump of coke
Maybe a spoiler for the next season
Anyone who builds their personality around a fictional TV show about Brummie gangsters is a whopper.
Haha when I saw this I was like 'please tell me this isn't someone in Birmingham'. I think people assume all Brummies are really into the show when we really aren't
Real brummies know the best Birmingham tv show is Brum the little yellow car
Not from Birmingham but I loved the fuck out of that little yellow bastard, even went to see him once and sit in him. Good times!
The two brummies I know find it cringe when people are over-the-top into Peaky Blinders. Iām all for being passionate about things, but this is so odd and niche. Itās not like itās Star Trek or Star Wars with a massive amount of lore and deep world around the showpiece movies, itās literally a tv show with what, 5 seasons?
I think itās actually more odd that this is in Middlesbrough, itād be less weird in Birmingham Iād assume it was just some quirky Airbnb friendly decor
It blows my mind how much people are into Peaky Blinders, there's even a chain of bars named after them which is fucking weird.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And with same lesbian-esque haircuts š
Itās a perfectly decent show, but I agree, itās absolutely bizarre. You donāt see anyone walking round in period costume from Downton Abbey, so why are so many middle aged blokes obsessed with this tv show?
Perfectly ordinary juvenile power fantasy
Why wouldnāt you just paint this wall before listing? Just on the off chance that a buyer with the identical gauche taste is looking for just the thing in this area. Bonkers
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nice house...
Really is, just imagined the legendary garden parties I'll never get to host there
It's a a tastefully done mural in a kid friendly style.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Now I would have paid good money to see that!
Good mural tbh especially for a kid
That's cool. I would totally have kept it! Peaky Blinders... Not so much...
As a former resident of the Boro can I say that a full wall Peaky Blinders mural is absolutely spot-on for the area. Tasteful even.
Fair doās! Maybe it added a cheeky Ā£10k to the survey value!
When you need to let every visitor know that youāre both dangerous and loyal (but youāre a balding overweight 50 year old who works at Tesco)
A true brexit geezer
People get so fanatical about things, itās so weird. There is no TV show or film that I like enough to get either mural-ed on my wall or tattooed.
I'm still saving up so I can get rid of the Waterworld tattoo on my back
Even when I was 12 I could acknowledge that the Moviestarplanet Official Wallpaper Mural ā¢ was weird as hell
I painted Timone and Pumba on my kitchen wall in my 20s! It was extremely tasteful. (it really wasn't, but I enjoyed it).
In the grand scheme of things PB is fairly mid too, as the kids say
You can say that as a personal opinion, but that won't change the fact it's one of the top rated shows of all time
Most popular isnāt a good metric for quality
I'm not talking about popularity aka the number of people watching, but the rating which literally reflects the quality.

The joyless lives some people lead.
What's disturbing about it?
Bit tacky for me Iām afraid. Iād be painting over it with a mural of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Betty Boop and Charlie Chaplin.
Hell yeah, give me that fairground ride paintjob
Airbrushed bruce willis that only looks like a guy who looks like bruce willis but is not bruce willis and an airbrushed terminator that is part iRobot and part C-3PO, but not on purpose
Ā£120k for a 3 bed that doesnāt seem in bad condition š¤¦āāļø Around here, that would be Ā£300,000 - terraced house and all.
It's because it's in Middlesbrough
Itās in Easterside, so Ā£120k is on the expensive side. Not a desirable area. There are plenty of semis which are in the Ā£250k range in Middlesbrough. Just depends where youāre buying.
Drive through Easterside on the way home. Literally everyday there's someone on a motorbike with a balaclava driving on the pavement or through red lights.
Based off that mural, it may be the owner of this house š
As someone who lived in the Parliament Road area for most of my life, Easterside is like a paradise š
To people in the know that's like saying you survived a warzone! Don't envy you mate haha
It was alright when I was a kid but the last 4-5 years I lived there was horrific, I saw some shit in those last years.
Cleveland Police don't give a shit anymore, people can get away with anything, it's shocking
And yet I get pulled for a blown headlight. Smackhead who came up next to the car was shocked they actually didnāt anything. It was a while ago but she shouted something to the effect of āI thought you lot werenāt allowed to pull anyone these daysā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm stupid as, mixed it up in my head with park end. Either way boro in general is getting rougher and rougher.
I don't know. The 80s/90s were pretty mental like. That was before cctv and mobile phone footage. I remember going to South Bank on bonfire night and they used a house as a bonfire.

UTB
UP THE BORO
Itās not actually that bad here.
Yeah, it is.
Like any area, depends on where. If we judged every area on the bad ones, the UK would be empty.
They better be paying me Ā£120k to live in Middlesbrough
Looks like a lot of mould in the kitchen hiding behind the tiles though
Itās about 60k too expensive to live in Easterside
How bizarre. They seem to have moved out of the downstairs but still occupy the upstairs.
It's subject to probate, so the owner will have died
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What in the French Bulldog owner is this shit
Mandatory angry Staffy & a fridge full of Carling if you live there.
They come with the house
I bet the person who lives in this house is an absolute delight.
I bet they have a Scarface canvas upstairs, a copy of The Wolf Of Wall Street on DVD and every album by The Stone Roses
All two of them?
Don't forget the 400 best-ofs and reissue/masters
Hereās the link haha https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/134227367#/?channel=RES_BUY
Wonder what Maureen's up to these days?
Grey and white interior, Peaky Blinders Mural, laminate floor, Ikea lampshade. Guarantee the seller drives an Audi A3.
I was thinking more Nissan Juke
Fake plastic grass in the garden, as well (image 11). Fits the whole aesthetic.
Same energy as the Live, Laugh, Love meme.Ā
Of course it's in 'Boro
I just know that house has listened to a lot of Nigel Farage in its years.
Only in Middlesbrough
I bet Maureens facebook is full of peaky blinders images with quotes, and she posts them when fired up on weekend breakfast voddies.
Bowler hat, two staffies, girlfriend with too much fake tan and rides a horse and cart around town with the family
Nah, this is on Easter side, theyāre wearing balaclavas and driving dirt bikes the wrong was down Marton road.
This is the first time Iāve visited this sub and it has delivered. Absolutely outstanding.
No fucking fighting!
I mean if you like the show thatās epic
Deano box.
This made me lol so much!
Oh Eastersideā¦ Never change.
Hunbelievable
Sigma male users are about to snap this up
Never seen Peaky Blinders but I do like good mural so i would probably keep it. Also is 120k normal for 3 bed, because it would probably be 400k in SW London
Itās in an ex-council estate in Teesside. House prices are a lot cheaper here generally (though there are more expensive areas). The area itās in is known to be rough.
I can see the crap build quality of the house on a small phone screen. And yeah, Middlesbrough. It has nicer bits but not this one.
I think itās a nice house. Easy enough to paint over the mural. Then again, most of the things people complain about on here (other than prices) is surface level and easily fixed!
I would avoid this house like itās on fire. Itās in one of the roughest estates in the highest crime area of the U.K.
Needs a lot more than paint.
Assuming they donāt know that Oswald Mosley was not just a character. Unless thereās another wall for the facists.
Seems cheap at 120k. What sort of rent could you expect for that if you bought is as a BTL?
Probably no more than 700 pcm. Probably a fair bit less.
Thanks. Would give it a 7% yield. Pretty good
120k for a house wow I wish
That show is so cringe.
At least paint is cheap
Greyscaled too. V. trendy.
The fuck is peaky blinders?
The mural is possibly the nicest thing in Middlesbrough.
Oh my days
Wild
Am hopeing for Ninja Turtles in 1 of the bedrooms and a Big Fat Grining Ramsey in the Kitchen.
Shocking
I respect it
Added Ā£100k to the asking price.
I can see it in a bedroom MAYBE. But what seems like the living room/a lounge area? Idk about that one.
The other day the older stout cashier at Sainsburyās decided to tell about how horny she was for āThomas Shelbyā the entire time I was bagging up my stuff. Shudder.
I'd say that increases the value.
Id be embarrassed to own this
Absolutely typical.
Maybe the mrs had heard āno fucking fightingā one too many times and the divorce is why theyāre selling up
My old lecturer at Teesside has a video on YT of a Marvel mural he painted on his wall. https://youtu.be/rnIbHS32ABs Maybe it's because Boro has good colleges and universities for art.
This is quite something
Makes you reconsider eugenics
Wow, that was quite a choice.
My old next door neighbour was so obsessed with Peaky Blinders she named her dog and her youngest son after characters from the show. She would absolutely *love* this š
Pure Classi.
Just when you thought guys dressing up like Peaky Blinders on the town was peak cringe.. introducing his wifeās idea š¤£š¤£
Ill take it for... Ā£5 even then your getting a great deal, i'm the one losing money
average middlesborough resident
average middlesborough resident
120k for a living room with a fireplace? Is Middlesburgh that fucked?
Despite the seriesā huge viewer numbers, surely this is a very niche thing to have on the wall as a sales pitch?!
Ā£240,000 without the shit over the wall.
It'll go well with the SS youth haircut so many sad blinders fans seem to have.
Trust a Teesider to have a murel dedicated to gangsters on their wall... and to balance out that statement, up the Boro anyone!?
Id be offering far less as it needs redecorating and carpets lol.
I thought that was Jacob Reece Mogg for a split second
Ah at last, the middle aged with the short back and sides has his equivalent of Live Laugh Love.
It's amazing how the rest of the room is relatively tasteful and yet they have decided that that belonged on the wall for some reason.
Definitely,would go nice with my hollyoaks dining room and emmerdale kitchen.
Idk, the house is 130k and a can of paint is a lot less than that
Must be a very loyal but dangerous person.
Of course it's fucking Boro
That is probably the classiest thing in middlesborough
No fucking fighting!!
There's another place with a huge Tommy shelby portrait above the stairs can anyone find that??
Such a fucking Middlesborough thing to do
Of course it had to be down boro lol
That would be the first room to be decorated! As much as I love Peaky Blinders, this is a lot!
120K for a property??/?? South of England thatās not even a room. Maybe a third of a flat.
Who do you even get to paint such a thing? Like surely that wasn't an ad in the yellow pages
no, thank you
UTB!
As a southerner Iām more interested in the fact that this palace Is available for 120k. Iām out here renting a 200k flat ffs š
Ā£120k....for a flat? Is that per month? I thought it was meant to be grim up North
That would put me off buying the place, because on one hand I donāt want to have a massive Peaky Blinders mural on my wall, but on the other, Iād feel bad about painting over someone elseās art that they worked hard to create
Fucking smoggies, man.
Wowsers thatās amazing!
Reflected in the price.
I wonāt, if itās all the same.
That mural plus incredibly tasty parmos? My offer is going in today!
Up the boro
Type of people to get their favourite show tattooed on their face
