Colin at Bowman got back to me sooner than I expect. Below is exactly what he has said.
"In my personal opinion, I wouldn’t say that that is terminal, but there will always be an element of risk to these things. The middle of the tube is under less stress than closer to a junction and it doesn’t look like a crease, which can often propagate into a crack. If it was mine I would ride it, but for sale I would expect a lot less for the bike and be very clear with the buyer that it is sold as seen. "
Because of this I’ve edited some text in the ad and dropped £200 off the price. Worse comes to worse I'm actually not opposed to keeping this bike. Thanks again for the comments guys.
