Personally I would consider running an Ethernet Cable behind the wall, up through the loft, and back down to a suitable location to place the 2nd AP point. Cat 5e can support a 1Gbit LAN for a distance of up to 100m (approx 330") provided that there are no sharp bends.
Fit a wall socket at each end to tidy it up and consider using shielded cable if there are any other electrical cables likely to interfere with it (the shielding will need to be earthed at both ends).
Alternatively, purchase a pair of HomePlugs or PowerLine Adapters.
In both cases you should then be able to connect the AP at the other end to the router and extend your WiFi coverage.
