Adelaide's Bishop's Court under sale consideration

The landmark North Adelaide mansion Bishop’s Court appears set for sale by the Anglican Church.

The home of archbishops since the 1850s is tipped to fetch up to $7 million, according to the local News Ltd paper.

It follows a decision by the annual Anglican Synod to formally investigate the sale of the property, or alternatively, a long-term lease.

A recommendation will be presented to next year’s annual synod.

The trophy property is a 4,000 square metre holding with Ward Street and Palmer Place frontage.

The property is tipped to better the record price for Adelaide of $6.5 million for Glenelg’s historic Stormont set in 2010.

The diocese is tipped to retain a 1,000 square metre block fronting Ward Street on which they would build a more modest house for the Anglican Archbishop Jeffrey Driver.
