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 very special celebration at Danny last week as Marilyn’s loved ones joined her for her 80th birthday.

It’s always a joy to see our residents using the house just as they would their own — filling it with friends, family and happy moments.

Happy birthday Marilyn!

A glimpse back to a truly beautiful concert held in October at Danny House.

Simon Wilson, together with Matthew Connolly, Hilary Andrews, Linsey McKee and Simon Gray, gave an evening of exceptional musicianship — a performance of the very highest standard, in the gorgeous setting of our historic Great Hall.

Danny House hosts world-class concerts every Monday for its residents, as well as occasional performances open to the public — and this was a truly unforgettable, deeply moving experience for everyone in the room.

On This Day in History – 13 October 1918

In the Great Hall of Danny House, Hurstpierpoint, Prime Minister David Lloyd George convened the Imperial War Cabinet to decide how the war should end.

Gathered around the long oak table were leaders from across the Empire — including representatives from Canada, Australia, South Africa, and India. Together, they agreed the exact terms of the armistice that would be offered to Germany.

These discussions at Danny House directly paved the way for the Armistice of 11 November 1918, bringing four years of devastating conflict to a close.

107 years later, Danny House still carries the weight of that history — a Sussex home that briefly became the centre of the world’s hopes for peace.

Join author Paul Spencer Sochaczewski for a fascinating live presentation on the life and travels of Alfred Russel Wallace, the brilliant naturalist and co-discoverer of the theory of evolution by natural selection.

Wallace spent time here in Hurstpierpoint, where his wife’s family home Treeps provided the peace and inspiration to write The Malay Archipelago — one of the greatest travel books of the Victorian era.

This talk explores Wallace’s adventurous life, his enduring friendship with his assistant Ali, and the remarkable discoveries that shaped modern science.

✨ An unmissable evening for anyone interested in nature, exploration, or local history — in the stunning setting of Danny House.
