I did attempt to gently poke it to have it move into a position for clearer photo's, but as soon as i bothered with its web, it jumped down and immediately played dead (curling itself into a ball). I took this opportunity to rehome it outside (and took some more photo's as it moved.) it is a non-aggressive spider, and plays dead if bothered.

It looks like a young spider. It's about the size of a childs pinky fingernail. Approx half a cm. I thought it may be a garden orb weaver, but it doesn't seem to match the characteristics. For one, it's located indoors in normal light... on the side of my wall. (garden obs are known to be outdoors?) it also has a simple web unlike some of the webs gardens orbs make.
