Default Pruning a clematis

Hi all,

We've only been in this house a few months and so we're enjoying what
the garden surprises us with.

There's a highly fragrant clematis that's just finished flowering. Pale
mauve flowers, with 4 round-ended petals, fairly dark green leaves and
dark stems. On a north-east facing wall and about 2m tall now. It had a
massive display of flowers a month or so ago and filled the entire house
with the scent whenever we opened the window nearest it!

I've googled a bit but not found it, nor determined what pruning group
it's in. So, any clues welcome, what should I do with it now? It's a bit
of a tangled mess but I can see what looks like old wood deep inside.
I've snipped off a couple of straggly bits but does it need a hard prune
or just a haircut? It would be great if it did all that again next
spring.

Thanks in advance.
