You can probably get a way with putting an Wireless Access Point in the roof.

Most Access Points can either be connected via Eithernet (Using Power
of Ethernet if necessary) or act as Bridge/Repeater of from you main
"Hub" to increase you wifi range. so all you really need is a power
supply.

Novatech are currently selling them for just under £20 so its often
cheaper to go Wireless than try to run cables.... If you need cable
you can put a second Access Point in the garden and convert the single
back..... Plus wireless is not slow these days, Wireless N is rated at
150Mbps (which is faster than most wires (unless you happen to have
Gigabit Ethernet)
