A good point, although my daughter insists on a wireless network being
available so she can use her laptop anywhere, no doubt including the
bathroom and garden!

Maybe I'll have a rethink and put the wireless modem router (which
has 4 network sockets) in the roofspace and then wire a CAT5 network
outlet into each room instead.

That should work. You may have to experiment with pointing the aerials in
various directions to get the best wireless coverage.

Is there a standard faceplate readily available with a BT filtered
phone socket and an adjacent RJ-45 socket that I can connect a CAT5
cable to?
Have a look at Solwise's modular range at
http://www.solwise.co.uk/networking_sundries.htm

Maybe I'll now fit the ADSL filtered lower section option to my BT
NTE5 master socket, so I don't need a filter at each phone outlet.

That's the best - low noise - solution, since it separates the analog phone
traffic from the digital signals at the earliest possible opportunity.
Assuming your master socket *isn't* in the roof space, you will of course
have to run an *unfiltered* extension from the master to your router
location. Make sure you get a filtered faceplate with krone connectors for
both filtered and unfiltered wiring on the back - such as the faceplate
splitter shown at http://www.solwise.co.uk/adsl_splitters.htm
