Penrith is the market town at the heart of the Eden Valley, built in the distinctive red sandstone that sets it apart from the grey limestone and dark gritstone of the surrounding fells. The Victorian and Georgian terraces around Devonshire Street, Castlegate and the town centre were built from this local sandstone and have the steep, compact staircases typical of nineteenth-century northern market-town housing. The surrounding Eden Valley villages of Appleby-in-Westmorland, Kirkby Stephen and Brough have older stone farmhouses and cottages where staircase configurations can be far more complex. Keswick to the west, at the northern end of Borrowdale, is one of the most visited towns in the Lake District and has many older properties with unusual layouts. We travel from Colne via the M6 — typically around 75 to 90 minutes.

Curved Stairlifts in Penrith
The Eden Valley farmhouses and cottages of Appleby, Kirkby Stephen and Brough, and the older properties in Keswick’s town centre, can have winder steps, low ceilings and split-level layouts that reflect centuries of building and rebuilding.

Every curved rail is made to the exact dimensions of your staircase — there is no standard template for a Cumbrian farmhouse staircase.
- Designed and built specifically for your staircase
- Smooth and quiet throughout, including on bends
- Seat, arms and footrest all fold neatly away when parked
- Suitable for L-shaped, U-shaped, spiral and winding stairs
