its just a single plug socket you need, why not get a wifi one, assuming you have a decent range on your WiFi.
This. They are cheap (two for £20 last time I looked) and work just fine. They even integrate with voice control via your phone or smart speaker thingy.
If you are near se24, I have a spare one knocking around you can test with if you want? @Paradroid

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check those out. I wouldn't mind adding at least a few motion activated lights in the house at some point, but I guess one expected plus for Hue is easy access from outside the local network.

It would be much cheaper than buying a hue Bridge, unless you plan to expand with lights etc. Even then, hue is an expensive option.
