I believe Manval is on the right track here. This isn't a crab spider, but it may be some form of Agelenid. Hard to say without a good shot of the eyes.

I'm not sure whether is that a False Crab Spider or could also be Tegenaria domestica (domestic house spider). Maybe dimensions would distinguish them. Domestic house spider grows to 11.5 mm, while the other is usually 5 - 6 mm....
