Just a european house spider or relative. Related to the funnel web spider. Territorial hunters, shy; see them wandering mostly at night unless you disturb them

Saw one of those for the first time the last day and looked it up in a book we have at home it looks like an "amaurobius similis" usually found behind bark on walls and on fences.

I think amaurobius similis has different markings on the abdomen. Markings look like tegenaria domestica, a female one (male has a more elongated abdomen)

It is a Tegenaria alright; Amaurobius are common in gardens but the markings on the abdomen are Tegenaria.
