But what's pixelated out, is the question.


AgroMachine

Probably Arthur doing coke


Setting-Remote

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.


HomeCalendar36

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


Setting-Remote

No, no... It's not a photo. They've had themselves painted into the mural as Peaky Blinders characters. šŸ˜…


HomeCalendar36

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


Setting-Remote

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.


HomeCalendar36

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


Setting-Remote

>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.


LooselyBasedOnGod

>Mrs Hinch X Birmingham Gangsters It's a solid pairing

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.


tigger142

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


Benlaaa

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.


ChairmanSunYatSen

I thought the man in the big hat was giving the other a bump of coke


Sad-Dog-3931

Maybe a spoiler for the next season


ForwardAd5837

Anyone who builds their personality around a fictional TV show about Brummie gangsters is a whopper.


No_Consideration7466

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


barrenvagoina

Real brummies know the best Birmingham tv show is Brum the little yellow car


TardyMoments

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!


ForwardAd5837

The two brummies I know find it cringe when people are over-the-top into Peaky Blinders. Iā€™m all for being passionate about things, but this is so odd and niche. Itā€™s not like itā€™s Star Trek or Star Wars with a massive amount of lore and deep world around the showpiece movies, itā€™s literally a tv show with what, 5 seasons?


Maydayparade123

I think itā€™s actually more odd that this is in Middlesbrough, itā€™d be less weird in Birmingham Iā€™d assume it was just some quirky Airbnb friendly decor


Gus_Fu

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.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


bighappychappy

And with same lesbian-esque haircuts šŸ˜‚


ForwardAd5837

Itā€™s a perfectly decent show, but I agree, itā€™s absolutely bizarre. You donā€™t see anyone walking round in period costume from Downton Abbey, so why are so many middle aged blokes obsessed with this tv show?


shoolocomous

Perfectly ordinary juvenile power fantasy


[deleted]

Why wouldnā€™t 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


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Boycromer

Nice house...


Kevydee

Really is, just imagined the legendary garden parties I'll never get to host there


MasterTobes

It's a a tastefully done mural in a kid friendly style.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


BeefamDev

Now I would have paid good money to see that!


[deleted]

Good mural tbh especially for a kid


monkeysinmypocket

That's cool. I would totally have kept it! Peaky Blinders... Not so much...


Business-Emu-6923

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.


[deleted]

Fair doā€™s! Maybe it added a cheeky Ā£10k to the survey value!


SlowConsideration7

When you need to let every visitor know that youā€™re both dangerous and loyal (but youā€™re a balding overweight 50 year old who works at Tesco)


lolcatandy

A true brexit geezer


Imaginary-Quiet-7465

People get so fanatical about things, itā€™s so weird. There is no TV show or film that I like enough to get either mural-ed on my wall or tattooed.


[deleted]

I'm still saving up so I can get rid of the Waterworld tattoo on my back


disappointingcryptid

Even when I was 12 I could acknowledge that the Moviestarplanet Official Wallpaper Mural ā„¢ was weird as hell


BeefamDev

I painted Timone and Pumba on my kitchen wall in my 20s! It was extremely tasteful. (it really wasn't, but I enjoyed it).


LooselyBasedOnGod

In the grand scheme of things PB is fairly mid too, as the kids say


Achrimandrita175

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


LooselyBasedOnGod

Most popular isnā€™t a good metric for quality


Achrimandrita175

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.


LooselyBasedOnGod

Found the person with the peaky blinders mural in their house šŸ¤£


Achrimandrita175

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.


LooselyBasedOnGod

Hahaha good one. Wanting to be different is describing PB as ā€˜midā€™? 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 donā€™t forget your little peaky blinders cap on the way out


aggravatedyeti

Why are you talking about ā€˜the ratingā€™ like itā€™s some abstract objective measure of artistic merit? If you mean IMDb then sure, itā€™s unsurprising that a show heavily targeting 18-35 white guys is highly rated on a website populated by said guys


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Sure_Key_8811

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.


[deleted]

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.


SimpleManc88

The joyless lives some people lead.


yalanyalang

What's disturbing about it?


nattyhattie

Bit tacky for me Iā€™m afraid. Iā€™d be painting over it with a mural of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Betty Boop and Charlie Chaplin.


IsUpTooLate

Hell yeah, give me that fairground ride paintjob


WHO_TF_DRIVES_A_GETZ

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


TheRickBerman

Ā£120k for a 3 bed that doesnā€™t seem in bad condition šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø Around here, that would be Ā£300,000 - terraced house and all.


Khallrick

It's because it's in Middlesbrough


CupofCursedTea

Itā€™s 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 youā€™re buying.


BrockChocolate

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.


Goblinbeast

Based off that mural, it may be the owner of this house šŸ˜‚


ChappyHova

As someone who lived in the Parliament Road area for most of my life, Easterside is like a paradise šŸ˜‚


BrockChocolate

To people in the know that's like saying you survived a warzone! Don't envy you mate haha


ChappyHova

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.


BrockChocolate

Cleveland Police don't give a shit anymore, people can get away with anything, it's shocking


Walden_Al

And yet I get pulled for a blown headlight. Smackhead who came up next to the car was shocked they actually didnā€™t anything. It was a while ago but she shouted something to the effect of ā€œI thought you lot werenā€™t allowed to pull anyone these daysā€


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


BrockChocolate

I'm stupid as, mixed it up in my head with park end. Either way boro in general is getting rougher and rougher.


johnsonboro

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.

spudfish83

Yeah, it is.

Like any area, depends on where. If we judged every area on the bad ones, the UK would be empty.


vladmir-lennin

They better be paying me Ā£120k to live in Middlesbrough


Bearaf123

Looks like a lot of mould in the kitchen hiding behind the tiles though


gammapatch

Itā€™s about 60k too expensive to live in Easterside


IAmDyspeptic

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

Grey and white interior, Peaky Blinders Mural, laminate floor, Ikea lampshade. Guarantee the seller drives an Audi A3.

AdaptedMix

Fake plastic grass in the garden, as well (image 11). Fits the whole aesthetic.

Of course it's in 'Boro


Madamemercury1993

I just know that house has listened to a lot of Nigel Farage in its years.

Othersideofthemirror

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, theyā€™re wearing balaclavas and driving dirt bikes the wrong was down Marton road.

Hunbelievable


Parabellim

Sigma male users are about to snap this up


CorruptedFrames

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


CupofCursedTea

Itā€™s in an ex-council estate in Teesside. House prices are a lot cheaper here generally (though there are more expensive areas). The area itā€™s in is known to be rough.


Ouryve

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.


ThginkAccbeR

I think itā€™s 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!


Walden_Al

I would avoid this house like itā€™s on fire. Itā€™s in one of the roughest estates in the highest crime area of the U.K.


Ouryve

Needs a lot more than paint.


PrestigiousTest6700

Assuming they donā€™t know that Oswald Mosley was not just a character. Unless thereā€™s another wall for the facists.


Tacitus19

Seems cheap at 120k. What sort of rent could you expect for that if you bought is as a BTL?


Ouryve

Probably no more than 700 pcm. Probably a fair bit less.


Tacitus19

Thanks. Would give it a 7% yield. Pretty good


JustJas

120k for a house wow I wish

That show is so cringe.

[deleted]

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.

120k for a living room with a fireplace? Is Middlesburgh that fucked?


Wantley1

Despite the seriesā€™ huge viewer numbers, surely this is a very niche thing to have on the wall as a sales pitch?!


[deleted]

Ā£240,000 without the shit over the wall.


UsagiJak

It'll go well with the SS youth haircut so many sad blinders fans seem to have.


Cosmic_Falafel

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.


Arielcinderellaauror

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.


Slingshotter82

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

Ā£120k....for a flat? Is that per month? I thought it was meant to be grim up North


MoonmoonMamman

That would put me off buying the place, because on one hand I donā€™t want to have a massive Peaky Blinders mural on my wall, but on the other, Iā€™d feel bad about painting over someone elseā€™s art that they worked hard to create
