Brick house here. Initially I only used WiFi and powerline, but the powerline had to jump to another ring circuit. I got about 150 MBps so not too bad as it was faster than my ISP.
I drilled a hole about 2m high in my living room wall to outside. On the inside I put a single junction box to mount my WAP to. I used a scutch chisel to cut a channel down to ankle level and put a double box there. I put a conduit pipe between the two boxes and fastened it to the brick with all round band. I used outdoors LAN cable from the double socket through the conduit to the WAP and then 3 cables going outside and then up through the roof into the loft. I used modular euro sockets; I would recommend them.
Drilling and chiselling brick and then plastering and painting took a long time and was hard messy work. I could have used some plastic trunking stuck to the wall but I think that's quite ugly. I don't care about the cables attached to the outside of the house; I already had multiple external cables.
If I was more skilled in building work and more patient, I would have run cables under the floors and under the stairs.
