Any general suggestions for completing the job?

If you use PVC internal cable, it won't last very long, as it absorbs
a certain amount of moisture - probably negligible for mains, but can
be quite serious for telephony. It would be better if you use either
PVC in a duct of some sort, or polyethylene cable.

What sort of overall distance are we talking for your extension? Would
it be possible to use a DECT phone?

10-12 metres down the side of the house, a couple of metres across a gap, and
a couple of metres along the side of the (brick-built) outhouse. The only
problems are the facts that the trip has to be external and the gap (under
flags or overhead at about 2.5 metres up.
