So I found out I got a 2:2 for my final year subject. 
I was just wondering if that was a bad grade? Would it hinder me in the future?

If you mean in terms of job prospects, what degree do you have? There are graduate programs that accept 2:2s now, in Engineering I've seen which is quite surprising..

If this is the first 2:2 you've got whilst at university and say the rest have been 2:1 or 1st, the 2:2 gets cancelled out. You'll come out with a 2:1 or so - it averages out.

A 2:2 is still a pass, a 3rd is still a pass. It means you are still passing university, it's just a lower grade. It's not terribly bad.

Just not been feeling good this final year, didn't feel very motivated.
It looks like I was only 1 mark from a 2:1.

A 2:2 is not bad. The grade is only what you make of it.
It varies from subject to subject, but from my experience in engineering employers value work experiences as much as a few percentage points either side of a grade classification.A 2:2 won't stop you doing a Master's or getting a good job, but from here on you might just have to work a bit harder to prove yourself.

It will limit what jobs you cna apply for and can have a big ipact on your opportunities. Once in a job, though, you cna recover and if successful, then degree grade becomes much less important to irrelevant.

It very much depends on the subject you do and where you got it from. I've seen advertisements from smaller companies in in-demand fields asking for only 2:2s e.g. you could definitely work as a paralegal or engineer with just a 2:2 in the relevant subject, on the other hand if you've got a 2:2 in English or Psychology you're going to struggle as you don't have as directly an applicable skillset and 2:1s are given out for those subjects like hotcakes.
