Converting a fixed gear to a single speed

Again apologies for what I’m sure is a very basic question. But how easy is it to convert a fixie into a single speed freewheel please?
I know it’s possible to get bikes that have flip flop hubs, but I’m talking now about a bike that’s a fixed gear only.
What would be involved in such a conversation and how expensive, assuming standard easily available parts are used please? Is it a case of just changing the rear hub and installing brakes or am I being completely naive?
Thanks
