does this sound like a spun bearing?

Ouch - that doesn't sound good

My first port of call would be pulling the oil filter and oil to inspect for 'shiny bits'.

What is the service history like? Has the car just had its factory change intervals?

Yeah that does indeed sound like your classic rod knock.
