Depending upon your location and your preferred supplier, the module will cost between £3.00 and <£2.00, e.g. http://www.electrodragon.com/product/esp-07s-esp8266-serial-wifi-module/
You will also need a IPEX/u.FL to SMA adaptor coax lead, similar to:

I would guess that most hobbyists will have a spare 2.4GHz antenna somewhere in the house (i.e. supplied with that old WiFi router you previously upgraded) however if you do need to purchase, make sure you get one with a SMA to match the coax lead (or if you already have a RP-SMA antenna, make sure you purchase a Coax with a RP-SMA connector to suit! - you cannot mix RP-SMA and SMA connectors.
