It's a photo that will make you do a 'double-take'!

You may recognise the van outside the colourful house. It's Ice Baby, Hitchin's distinctive, vintage ice cream van.

But what of the colourful house behind the evocative ice cream van?

It's not real of course, it's an amazing illustration by the brilliant @thislittlestreet

Ice Baby aka Tasha Laws explains on her official Instagram account: "Ice Baby has had the @thislittlestreet treatment! The artist behind this account layers her flower artwork onto photos of buildings.

"I love the way she's done this to the house behind Ice Baby, it matches so well. I wish houses could look like this in real life - I'm planning on framing it!"

Ice Baby is a vintage Honda ice cream van, located in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, which is available for hire at parties, weddings and events.

They serve genuine Italian ice cream from the famous Marine Ices ice cream parlour in north London, which comes in a variety of mouth-watering flavours and is made with pure and natural ingredients.

You might also recognise the Ice Baby van from a photo shoot for Waitrose Kitchen magazine, with Heston Blumenthal.

@thislittlestreet aka the talented Audrey Smit, explained the process behind the brilliant image on their Instagram account. "Paint the world, England edition. Because ice cream and flowers make everything better, let's face it.

"Created by your truly, layering my floral artwork on an original photo by Ice Baby."
