Davis Blank Furniss acts on purchase of 745 Wilmslow Road, Didsbury.

The commercial property team at law firm Davis Blank Furniss has handled the purchase of 745 Wilmslow Road in Didsbury. The site is now being renovated and will become Bisque and Beyond Family Art Café which is expected to open in mid-April. The value of the deal has not been disclosed.

The independent family owned and run venue will offer a wide range of art projects, as well as locally sourced food and drinks, homemade cakes and bakes. There will also be a party and sensory room, set up daily for a wide range of baby sensory classes and children’s parties.

The team at Davis Blank Furniss advised clients Marianne McDowell and Alexander Hassiakos on the purchase including in-depth legal advice, managing the due diligence process and coordinating funding arrangements.

Richard Hamilton, Head of Property at Davis Blank Furniss, said: “Bisque and Beyond Family Art Café is a fantastic concept and will, I’m sure, be a huge success in what is one of Manchester’s most vibrant suburbs.”

Marianne McDowell added: “We are really excited about the launch of Bisque and Beyond Family Art Café and our focus is now on getting the site ready for our expected opening next month.”
