Danny House Retirement

Danny House Retirement Danny House in one of England's great country houses and a fantastic retirement property. Nestling in an area of outstanding natural beauty

Danny House in one of England's great country houses and prestigious retirement properties. Nestling at the foot of the South Downs within the National Park, this retirement home offers the best of all worlds - gracious retirement accommodation combined with all modern comforts, but without the stress of everyday life, for carefree senior living. This retirement home is within walking distance of

Hurstpierpoint (1 mile), which offers a good selection of shopping facilities, and the train station at Hassocks is just 1.5 miles, offering a 10 minute journey to Brighton, or into London in under one hour. There is also a very good care home nearby - St Georges Park, Ditchling. To live in a fully serviced retirement apartment 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, whether 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, farm animals, and table tennis. The retirement estate lies off the road from Hurstpierpoint to Hassocks, and is only eight miles from Brighton. If you have no car, we provide transport to take you shopping once a week, to the nearby medical centres and to cultural events in Brighton.

A dozen beautiful Bentleys swept up the drive this weekend as we welcomed the South East region of the Bentley Drivers Club to Danny House.

Members enjoyed a tour of the house, including the room where Lloyd George once agreed the WWI armistice proposals, before sitting down to a long lunch in the Great Hall — poached salmon, summer pudding, and plenty of good conversation.

Thank you to everyone who came — it was a real pleasure to host such a warm and fascinating group of guests (and cars). We hope to see you again.

A lovely afternoon for a picnic at Danny House.

Today our residents are enjoying Pimm’s and good company under the trees, with a long table set up in the shade and flowers from the garden.

This one’s not open to the public, but it gives a little glimpse of the kinds of things we like to arrange for the wonderful people who live here.

📸 Moments like these remind us what makes Danny House so special.

This week, residents gathered in the Great Hall to watch conservator Luke Johnson at work, gently restoring some of the house’s historic paintings. With brushes, scalpels, and quiet concentration, Luke talked us through the delicate process of cleaning centuries-old artwork, re-gilding frames, and uncovering hidden details.

There was a real sense of curiosity, care, and connection in the room – people asking questions, sharing stories, and reflecting on the layers of history these paintings hold.

We’re lucky to live surrounded by such beauty – and even luckier to witness it being brought back to life.

🖼️ A brush with history at Danny House…

Nine historic paintings from our collection have just been lovingly cleaned and conserved by Luke Johnson, a specialist restorer based in Barnard Castle. As he returned them to the house, Luke gave us a fascinating insight into the delicate craft of conserving old paintings and re-gilding their original frames.

Among the restored works are two paintings given to Danny’s then-owner George Goring in 1625 by King Louis XIII of France – a gift of gratitude for Goring’s help arranging the marriage of his sister, Henrietta Maria, to Charles I. Goring and Henrietta became close friends; they were known to race barges down the Thames, and he served as both her vice-chamberlain and master of the horse.

One painting of Queen Anne, once dirty and overlooked, has been transformed – revealing not only the fine quality of the work but also the likelihood that she sat for the portrait. Two of the paintings are by Peter Lely – one of a Campion, the other of Anne Hyde, Queen Anne’s mother. And a landscape by George Morland now proudly shows his signature after layers of grime were lifted away.

We’re so grateful to Luke for helping bring these remarkable works back to life.
