A plug for a phone line is referred to as an RJ45. For ethernet it's RJ11. They look nearly identical, the RJ11 is wider.

Where does your phone line come in in relation to the the home computer?

Let's assume you have the internet access start at the shop, they should drop the modem/router next to where the phone enters to ease integrating the two.

The cat5 will run out to the house and terminate at the phone drop as well.

Then you'll need to run some cat5 to the home PC.

Total from modem/router to home PC is limited to 100 meters max.
