Previously had VM broadband in our house so have the old connection box in the living room so would it be possible to extend the cable from the living room so the router/Hub is in my bedroom  ?

No - you will need to get VM to come out to reposition the Hub and replace all the cabling/wall sockets and rebalance all the power levels. They will charge (a reasonable) £25 for that.

Alternatively you can just leave it all as is and just run some Cat5e/6a ethernet cabling from the Hub to the bedroom and connect on that via a "switch" or wireless access point. Or look at TP-Link powerline adapters (+/- Wifi) or their Mesh systems (e.g. M4,M5 3-packs)

No problem with the length of coax cable, ask for a maned install and the VM technician will install anywhere you want.
