The above is exactly what my combined filter and (BT) master box does.
It's a direct replacement for the BT master box, i.e. one with a
removable front that disconnects the BT line from the house. It has two
sockets - one for your ADSL modem and one for your phones. You can also
hardwire your phone wiring into the back of the cover. Bought it from
Solwise for a tenner.

This sounds promising. The line comes into the cellar where there is an
old type junction box. It then goes to the front room where the master
socket is - then on elsewhere.
Can I get a box which is line in, filter, RJ11 out for router and master
socket for the phone circuit? I can then feed the existing wiring,
replacing the master socket in the front room with a secondary one.

Yup, that's exactly it (I've got the same Solwise face plate - it fits a std
BT master socket, or Solwise will sell you one). You can feed the main phone
circuit out of the back of the box, and have RJ11 for router (or ADSL modem)
out the front, together with a spare filtered phone socket.

Of course, you *should* get BT to fit the new master socket in your
cellar.........
