Barclay House is situated in a quiet residential area, within walking distance of the sea, the Seven Sisters cliffs, and the beautiful South Downs.

It is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but also just a short journey from the major cultural hub of Brighton.

Barclay House has seven bedrooms and three of these have ensuite provision and two separate flats separate from the main building. The main home has a communal lounge, kitchen, and level access to garden areas.

The home is in a residential area where people get to know their neighbours and host their friends and family. Just next door is the Bradbury Centre – a day centre where people with learning disabilities from across the local area meet up to learn new skills and make friends.

It is a thriving community that encourages ambition and independence in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Our support

Our support at Barclay House is designed to be highly person-centred. We take time to get to know everyone, enabling us to work alongside them to build ambitious lives. We provide tailored support to meet each person's needs, goals and aspirations, supporting them to develop new skills, gain confidence and build the life they choose.

Finding community

People living in Barclay House make close friends both among their neighbours and in the local area. We have a thriving volunteer programme, with many long-term volunteers building long-term friendships with people we’re supporting.

We also have an activity centre just next door, the Bradbury Centre, where people living at Barclay House can, if there is an assessed need, learn valuable new life skills.

There is also plenty to do in the local area. From Barclay House, people have easy access to local coffee shops, world-famous walking and hiking trails, as well as the vibrant city of Brighton.

The magic of Barclay House is that it can offer both the excitement of nearby Brighton, and the comfort of a quiet, relaxed home.
