Openreach engineers are usually amenable to running the fibre to somewhere sensible, especially if the route is simple for them to access. If there is a draw wire in some duct in the disused chimney for example they are likely to be happy to use it.

It's not ducted tbh, just some cat 6 poked through and pulled down, but I could get a draw string ready for them potentially. My concern was that as I understand it fibre doesn't like being pulled round tight corners?
Other option is router in the left I guess, but there's no plugs up there and it's dusty/hot.
There is actually a pole at the back of our house, which clearly served our property once and would be more suitable. It currently serves a row of adjacent houses. Looking at the BT site they have full fibre available too, so I can only assume it's possible from that pole, but I know they wouldn't be keen as it's in a school ground so have to do it out of hours and get special permission etc.

I've got a slightly funky set-up at the moment, FTTC with a junction box in our loft (easily accessed, right next to the hatch). From there there the filtered line run down a disused chimney breast to my router in my lounge. This is of my own making, I've got no-one else to blame, but I wanted all the electric gubbins at the back of the lounge in one place.
Now I see BT are doing FTTP for not much more than I'm currently paying, but that's not going to work with my current set up.
Who do I talk to about where the line can come into the house? I assume openreach don't really consult and just drill through the closest wall with the new fibre line.
