A house once lived in by artist Vincent Van Gogh is to go under the hammer for £475,000 - and comes complete with its very own outside toilet.

The painter lived at the home in 1873 after coming to London to work at an art dealers at the age of 20.
Van Gogh is said to have spend one of the ‘happiest years of his life’ lodging at the three-bedroom home in Hackford Road, Brixton.
