What you're suggesting should work - as long as you put filters in all other
sockets which have analog equipment (phones, faxes, analog modems etc.)
plugged into them.

A better solution would be to fit a filtered faceplate to the master socket,
and run a digital extension from it to your loft. That way, all analog
extension wiring connected to the back of the faceplate will be filtered at
source - stopping it from interfering with your ADSL signal - and you won't
need additional filters in your other sockets.

If you use a modified filtered faceplate from Clarity
http://www.clarity.it/telecoms/adsl_faceplate_mod.htm you can wire your
digital extension into the back for neatness. If you wish, you can *even*
use a single CAT5E cable to take both a digital and analog extension to your
attic - using one pair for digital and two pairs for analog - and splitting
out to an RJ11 and BT-type socket at the far end.

Both of these are probably easier than putting your router near the master
socket and then extending your network into the attic - particularly if you
have more than one computer up there.
