Description The Square Root: Boulogne-Billancourt

If you're a tennis fan then you're in for a treat at this home just steps away from the home of the French Open, the Stade Roland-Garros. In a charming, leafy suburban neighbourhood, it's a welcoming and comfortable home from home. It's set in a period building so it's got all the Parisian character you're hoping for, with typical French balconies, tall windows and plenty of light. Feeling like it's your own the moment you step through the door, it's got great views from every window and a sociable layout to the open-plan living space. Cook in the well-stocked kitchen, eat at the breakfast bar and retreat at night to the calm, quiet bedroom – all with treetop views across this pretty area. There are shops and cafes right outside your door and it's a fifteen-minute taxi ride (or an hour's walk if you fancy it) into the very heart of the city.
