The markings and shape look like https://spiderid.com/spider/amaurobiidae/amaurobius/ferox/

They’re velvety and bigger than most house spiders. If it was shiny it is a Cob Web Spider in genus Steatoda. Steatoda spiders stop moving when a bright flashlight is pointed at them. A. ferox, Black Lace Weavers, stop moving if you touch them.
Steatoda have white dusty cobwebs. Amaurobius have flat dark grey dusty webs that end in a tiny funnel.
