I want to make our internet connection available to another house

Too far for standard wifi to work reliably (even if it worked on the
drive, I don't think it would do so inside).

I am well aware that various pairs of devices are available which can
do the job. Do you have any recommendations? Least expensive that
will do the job without being rubbish.

Doesn't need any fancy facilities at all. I have a wifi router I can
use inside. So this is just for the house-to-house link.

While there are a number of "crufted" solutions adding directional
antennae to normal wifi kit, you can get proper self contained external
bridging units fairly cheaply these days. For example, these can be had
for under £40:

If you set them up in bridging mode, then they look just like a bit of
layer 2 networking infrastructure (e.g. like a network switch), they
become "transparent" and behave much like you had strung a long ethernet
wire between sites.
