The higher the better for an aerial. Can you get access to the loft? It may be best to get a pro in to fit the aerial.

I know this isn't answering your main point, but drilling from the inside will cause a mess if your wall is roughcasted, if so drill from outside for a neater job but inspect the other side of where your going to drill. Hitting a cable would not be good!
