The latest review of the list, which gives historic buildings protection, saw a wide range of properties added, including Perelle Cottage.
The east part of the cottage and the roadside wall are now protected.
The traditional fisherman’s cottage is believed to date from the 17th century.
‘The original frontage of Perelle Cottage remains, with its random rubble construction and stone coping to the north gable,’ the listing states.
‘Few such cottages survive in such an unaltered state, the extension to the rear having only a minor effect on the elevation to which it connects. The cottage continues in residential use and has associations with the island’s fishing industry.’
Wendy Piriou has lived there for more than 30 years. She was concerned that the listing would prevent her replacing the front windows with PVC alternatives.
‘But there is no way I would alter anything else at the front bit of the building and I would not want to,’ she said.
‘I am happy with it. There is old beams and a furze oven.’
Just down the road is Le Douit Farm, on La Grande Rue.
All of the St Saviour’s building and outbuildings have now been listed.
‘[It is] a complex of traditional-style buildings dating from before 1800 and surviving in something like its original form with little change since the 19th century,’ the listing states.
‘Le Douit Farm retains a formalised façade and regular pattern of windows and doors to the main house along with much external and internal fabric and features, including fireplaces, keeping places and timberwork. Alterations have been minimal and have little altered the appearance of the building.’
Roger Allsopp has lived there with his family since 1975.
He was not surprised the building had been listed.
‘I’m in favour, by and large, of preserving what is good,’ he said.
However, he was concerned about what the listing could mean when they need to do work on the windows.
Also in St Saviour’s, Les Raies Farmhouse was added to the list.
On Route des Piques, near to the Auberge du Val, the traditional-style building dates from about 1680 and survives in something like its original form, with little change since the 19th century.
‘Les Raies Farmhouse retains its original façade and irregular pattern of windows and doors along with much external and internal fabric and features, including fireplaces, keeping places and timberwork,’ the listing states.
In Castel, Croute d’Aval on Les Grands Moulins, close to Kings Mills, has also made the list, but only the old part of the house and the 19th-century extension.
The traditional-style, single-storey building dates from about 1750.
‘La Croute d’Aval remains in its original residential use and retains its internal and external proportions and a number of traditional features including its original façade, stone copings, 18th century fireplace and bread oven,’ the listing states.
‘Changes have been made to the interior but these have not compromised the interest of the main house.’
