"listed building set"

0 Hello community,02br
02br
00I am currently reading the thriller "Lies of Silence" by Brian Moore which is set in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Now, I have been looking for the meaning of a "listed building set" in the Internet, tried to find pictures of such "sets" but I have now reached a dead-alley.02br
00I hope some folks from the UK, Northern Ireland or Ireland can help me out, as I assume that "listed building sets" only exists in those regions.02br
00Looking forward to your replies 05002br
00Cheers,02br

0Hello again, 02br
00I've looked it up again and Clive seems to be right. 02br
00In the book it says: '...a listed building set in five acres of landscaped gardens,...'02br
00I seem to have not understood the sentence correctly. Thanks for clearing things up!02br
