An avenue consisting of a uniform row of 9 English Elm trees lining the driveway of a private property in Sale. 

This avenue of English Elm trees is significant for social and historic reasons at the Regional level. 

The avenue is historically significant for being on the grounds of Bon Accord Homestead which is a significant property in Sale with a Heritage Overlay (HO87). The Homestead was constructed in the 1860’s and is one of the oldest homes in Sale. 

This avenue is significant for its contribution to the landscape. The trees and surrounding gardens were planted approximately in the 1880’s-90’s. They reflect the popular horticultural design of the late Victorian period most likely inspired by William Robert Guilfoyle. The avenue compliments the historic context of the homestead and property.
