Damage was caused to four areas of the roof and loft space. The home has since been made safe and weatherproof.
A nearby garage was struck, with fuel vapour sparking flames.
The third incident was at a home in St Ouen, where a lightning strike caused structural and electrical damage.
No one was injured.
