Bishopscourt, Darling Point, Gothic Revival mansion in Darling Point, Australia.

Bishopscourt is a sandstone Gothic Revival mansion at 11A Greenoaks Avenue, Darling Point, built around the two-storey stone cottage Percyville of 1841, whose front forms most of the present house. Its steep slate roofs carry cross-gables and two tall pale chimney shafts; the right-hand section has two arched windows and a doorway beneath a carved crest, and a long wing has gabled dormers and a lower wall covered in climbing plants.

The site held a small cottage by 1835–36, bought in 1841 by ironmonger Thomas Woolley, who built the two-storey stone cottage Percyville with architect J. F. Hilly. Thomas Sutcliffe Mort leased the land in 1845 and bought it in 1846 for £2,500, then from the late 1850s had Edmund Blacket build the sandstone Gothic Revival mansion around the cottage, renaming it Greenoaks. The Anglican Diocese of Sydney owned it until December 2015.

Thomas Sutcliffe Mort, who bought the land in 1846, filled Greenoaks with pieces bought at the 1857–59 sale at Alton Towers, including Elizabethan armour, a cabinet once owned by Marie Antoinette and about 120 pictures. The house later served as the Anglican archbishop's residence until December 2015, when the diocese sold it into private hands.

The house stands at 11A Greenoaks Avenue in Darling Point, a harbourside suburb east of Sydney's centre, reached by New South Head Road, built in 1831. It is a privately owned residence, not open to the public, so the sandstone facade, chimneys and gabled dormers are seen from the street and the low stone wall along the frontage.

Thomas Sutcliffe Mort filled Greenoaks with pieces bought at the 1857–59 sale at Alton Towers, including Elizabethan armour, old English coats of mail, a cabinet once owned by Marie Antoinette, antique oak furniture and about 120 pictures.
