DANNY HOUSE

To live at Danny means being able to forget about the everyday worries of running a house, as this is done for you. The kitchen is in the hands of two well-qualified cooks, and excellent breakfast, lunch and supper are provided every day. Your apartment is regularly cleaned and maintained.

In summer, there are large gardens at your disposal. If you are a keen gardener, there is plenty of scope for you to go on exercising your skills, in the Walled Garden or perhaps tending a vegetable plot. If you prefer just to take it easy out of doors, there is plenty of shade. There is also a croquet-lawn, grass tennis court, ponds for fishing and farm animals, and table tennis.

The estate lies off the road from Hurstpierpoint to Hassocks, which villages between them have a wide selection of shops. If you have no car, we provide a minibus which can take you shopping or to nearby medical centres.

Unlike most retirement communities at Danny you have the advantage of being able to rent rather than buy your apartment. This frees up your equity and relieves you of the burden and inflexibility of ownership. We provide the personal touch of pastoral care: help receiving deliveries; co-ordinating the arrival of your guests; arranging transport and shopping; organising cultural trips; and taking messages when you are away.

There are both large and small apartments, and your monthly charge will therefore depend upon how much space you need. All apartments have a modern en-suite bathroom, well equipped cupboards, television aerial-points, and internal and external telephones. There is also a utility-space, with a sink, and a refrigerator, where you may prepare simple snacks. Some apartments have their own kitchens.

Council-tax is included in your monthly rental, as are heating, lighting and water, the use of the library and of the laundry-room, and, indeed, access to all parts of the estate. There is parking for your car.
