I do something similar but have home assistant setup. If you don’t want to go down the rabbit hole of setting up home assistant, you could look at a Shelly plug along with a Shelly button 1. These should give you app + button control. These are WiFi based and do not require a hub.

Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.
It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.
Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.
Warning: Working with electricity can result in injury, property damage, or even death if it is not done properly. Please keep this in mind while assisting others. If you are not sure about what you are doing, hire a licensed professional.

Does the outhouse still have wifi coverage?
Yes it's only 2ft away from the house
Devices on tasmota firmware can link directly to each other using device group without setting up any automation/hub.
Can't find any shops selling preflashed ones for the switch in UK (online at least)
Budget wise there's:
-
Localbytes plug
-
Shelly Plus mini
