Spanish term or phrase: semi-protegida por partimonio
I am translating a text about work being carried out to restore a house. My text says the house is a 'casa semi-protegida por patrimonio'. I thought that protegida por patrimonio meant that it was a listed building, but is there an equivalent for 'semi-protegida' in English.

semi-listed building/low-grade listed building
Explanation:
I'd use one of these two. I think sticking to 'semi-listed' communicates the idea more clearly, and is instantly understood.

agree  Aïda Garcia Pons: I'd say semi-listed building too. http://www.beerandbollocks.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-353... OK it's just someone describing his house but I think it might help confirm.
