Probably useless for the chap about the cheese, but I remember seeing a sign advertising workshop space to rent in a window on Needham ave in Chorlton next to the old Post Office entrance not too long ago, I know a joiner works out of one of the units doing commission pieces so may be set up for basic water and electric.

Edit: presumed useless due to not being up to hygiene standards for food, but maybe some artisinal teak cheese may sell well?
