I want to route ethernet cable to a few rooms in a fairly small house.

Taking up floors is not an option because of wood flooring and I don't
want visible cable although routing cable around skirting boards may be
the easiest eventual solution.

There are aerial points in the house and the cable is routed within the
plasterboard wall of the timber frame house.

If the coax cabling is successfully dropping from the attick to the
ground floor through the wall (and from the attic to other rooms) I am
guessing that there is a clear channel within the plasterboard walls
which in theory I could squeeze the ethernet cable into.

You mean use and existing cable to pull through more? Yup it can work.
Tie some string to the end of the coax and pull that back. Then pull
through as much string again and tie it in the middle to the coax so you
can pull that back to where it was while sill keeping two ends of string
accessible. Then use the middle of that to pull in your new wires.

Has anyone done this?

Presumably I would need an ethernet router in the attic to split the
single feed cable from the main modem/router into individual feeds.

A network switch should be all you need.
