Yes you can spur off an existing socket in the house. But as it is outside there are additional regulations to bear in mind in terms of safety, overload and automatic disconnection. More importantly the "how to?" depends on your system (TT, TTNCS or TNS) as this dictates what regulations need to be adhered to and then ultimately the design. No competent and conscientious electrician will be able to provide you with the correct info unless they know what system you have, and perhaps it is best to seek this professional advice first.
