1, Cavendish Road

No. 1 Cavendish Road is a house that was built as a lodge for Birkenhead Park between 1843 and 1847 by architects Lewis Hornblower and John Robertson. The building is constructed of snecked rubble and features a Welsh slate roof, designed in a picturesque Tudor style. It is two storeys high and has an L-shaped plan with a gable on the left side and a doorway located in a projecting gabled porch. There is a square, projecting three-light mullioned window in the gable, topped with a parapet, and a two-light window above it. A small dormer window is situated above the doorway, and there is a chimney stack with cylindrical and diagonal flues that are corbelled out alongside the building, along with an additional similar stack on the side wall of the gabled wing. This lodge is part of the original development of Birkenhead Park, which was designed by Joseph Paxton during the same period.
