It’s a woodlouse.

It's not a bug, because woodlice aren't insects, they are crustaceans like crabs and shrimps.
They typically live in rotting wood, but you sometimes find them sheltering from cold indoors in the winter.

They can be an indication of damp; which can lead to rot, of course. Found more in older houses.
