It sounds very much like a Wisteria to me Hazel.

I think it might be a wisteria Hazel. They are beautiful and can grow very large from thick trunks. The flowers usually come in varyingshades of blue and hang down from the horizontal branches. Magnificent wall climber and it does flower at this time of year, but may take a while to establish.
