Do you get the really big spiders? We get the odd one running across the living room. I've heard them called Hertfordshire Hairies.

Yep, those are the ones that I notice most, but I expect there are all kinds around. I think mostly they hang out under the floorboards (we have airbricks that let them in and out) and then when they want a bit of warmth, they squeeze their way up into the rest of the house.
We have lots of little ones that we coexist with. They keep down some of the other bugs.
I've noticed in the caravan that when the windows are secured slightly open and left undisturbed, the spiders quickly create a natural insect barrier between the window and the frame. The webs are 3-D not the traditional flat plane.
Much to be grateful for with these little creatures. Someone was telling me the other day that dragonflies are important (to us!) for reducing numbers of mosquitoes.
Wasps do good too. We need the whole ecosystem
