LIFESTYLE at 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, so you do not even need to think about a lot of shopping, and your apartment is cleaned once a week, so you may leave Hoovers and Dysons behind you. 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, perhaps, or along what we call the Burma Road. If you prefer just to take it easy out of doors, there is plenty of shade. There is also a croquet-lawn. |

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, the house minibus can take you to the railway-station at Hassocks, from which Brighton is a 10-minute train-ride. What, you may ask, is this going to cost me, and what is actually included? There are both large and small apartments, and your monthly rental will therefore depend upon how much space you need. All apartments have a modern en-suite bathroom and some generous cupboards, television aerial-points, and are equipped for the installation of a telephone, broadband and Sky TV. There is also a utility-space, with a sink, and room for a refrigerator, where you may prepare simple snacks 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. There is full maintenance with no additional service-charges. The Great Hall is sometimes made available to charities for concerts and lectures. Residents have their own in-house films. |

You are, of course, free to furnish your apartment with all your own belongings, which it is up to you to insure. There are guest-rooms for the use of residents' friends and relations. A charge is made for this, and for any extra meals, which appears on your monthly account. What next? The first thing is probably to come and have a look around. There are no other formalities, except that we do need to know that you are capable of looking after yourself, as there are no facilities for providing nursing care. When an apartment becomes free, you will then be asked for a deposit of six months' rental. Living at Danny means sharing the life of a community of like-minded people; being able to pursue those hobbies for which there was never time when you were working; and the knowledge that you do not have to worry about any problems of maintenance of either house or grounds. It all adds up to a carefree retirement. |
