Suddenly popped up out of nowhere, not something I've planted and looks nothing like anything I have planted (there was nothing apart from a lawn and a blackthorn hedge when we moved here).

Looks lilly (ish) and I have planted plenty of lillies but nothing that looks remotely like that (or any anywhere near as good to be honest).
ETA it's about 40cm tall.

In time-honoured tradition...

It's definitely Japanese knotweed.

Seriously though, is it not an orchid of some type?

Edit: no, it's as others have said above.

Thanks all, apparently (according to she who must be agreed with) we bought a (very) cheap load of bulbs last autumn where the labels were missing or unreadable, must be one from that batch.
