Have just moved house and have inherited this, I'm hopeless with gardening (although hoping to get better!) and would appreciate knowing what it actually is.
Thanks!

I think you need to hang on a little while and let it get a bit greener, it could be anything looking at the picture
Can we have a close up of a leaf and a piece of stem please Catherine
In the sticks near Peterborough
could be a Montana clematis?need a close up.
Looks like Virginia Creeper to me.
Thanks for the replies. Will try and get a better picture tomorrow!
I have another picture but I can't seem to upload it to the site.
I will try again later.
I finally managed to upload a picture!
Looks like Parthenocissus quinquefolia.as SwissSue said.
Common name Virginia creeper. See...

Ah, so it's the one that goes a lovely red later in the year? But doesn't it cause damp in the house? The previous residents had tied it to the house as its collapsing rather than climbing.
