hi chris welcome to WAB my first impressioins was a house spider (tegenaria duellica) but im sure a spider expert will be along shortley and no you dont have to worry about any spider in the uk

Looks like a Tegenaria species indeed. Impossible to say which one. What you thought was a sting are probably the spider's spinnerets. Spiders of the Agelenidae family (like this one) have rather long ones.
