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.

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 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 bill roads 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, the minibus can take you shopping or to nearby medical centres.

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 and some with well equipped cupboards, television aerial-points, and internal and external telephones, broadband and Sky TV. 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.

FULL MAINTENANCE WITH NO EXTRA CHARGES

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.

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.

RENT RATHER THAN BUY YOUR APARTMENT

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 a social administrator who provides postcard care, helps receive deliveries, co-ordinates the arrival of your visitors and guests, arranges transport and shopping, organises cultural trips and takes messages while you are away.
