Notable former residents of a home often garner public interest, and there is a (furry) tale to tell about the one-time occupant of the garden of this house in Cricklewood.
“If anyone had told us the ‘Beast of Barnet’ was living and roaming around the undergrowth at the end of our long garden we would have thought it was all a joke and never would have believed them,” says Farhana Meerza, 56, who has lived at the 13-bedroom house on Hocroft Road for many years.
