Bow Lake is a long‑established livery and competition yard set across approximately 40.86 acres, offering immediate trading potential and a rare scale of facilities close to Winchester. The core yard comprises 26 stables, two large floodlit arenas (60m x 40m and 40m x 20m), a five‑horse reversible walker, turnout pens, extensive hardstanding and generous parking for horseboxes and trailers. First‑floor accommodation (two doubles) sits above the L‑shaped stable range together with a large function room that could be adapted to provide further living or business space, subject to consent.
The sale can be taken as a whole or in up to three lots: Lot 1 (the operational livery yard and buildings, c.18.7 acres), Lot 2 (c.13.51 acres pasture) and Lot 3 (c.8.65 acres woodland). A small roadside parcel adjacent to Lot 1 has planning consent (May 2023) for an equine veterinary clinic with separate access; the vendors are not connected with that development. The site sits conveniently within reach of the M3 and M27 and adjoins attractive countryside, including the South Downs National Park.
There is clear scope to expand or diversify the business (additional boxes in the modern steel‑framed building, further services for clients, hay/haylage production from pasture), but purchasers should note important constraints: an occupation condition restricts the first‑floor flat to a person working on site in connection with the competition livery, an overhead electricity pylon crosses the farmland and the vendors reserve a share of any future renewable‑revenue from that line. Services include mains water and electricity, private drainage (treatment plant) and an electric car charging point; broadband speeds are very slow.
For an operator or investor seeking an established equestrian concern with scale, flexible lotting and immediate facility depth, Bow Lake offers a rare opportunity. Viewings are by appointment only; the sale includes goodwill of the existing livery business and is offered freehold with vacant possession (subject to ongoing livery customers).
