IMO The simplest approach would be to install a telephone extension
socket near to your PC. You can buy d-i-y kits at stores such as
B&Q etc.

Just make sure that the cable is twisted pair and not the usual B&Q rubbish!

Depends a lot on how good your broadband will be, are you near the
exchange ?
A DIY extension may lose you a few dB (especially if it is in flat
cable) and that could cause trouble on a poor line. Using twisted cable
will be OK, and gives you a phone at the far end too by splitting there.
Do you have that already for a dial-up modem ?

The alternative is putting the router/modem by the phone socket and
having a long network lead, or go wireless.

I'd go that way (router nearer rather than extended phone line) and a
cable rather than wireless to reach the router... less to go wrong!
