I'm renovating an old (60s) bathroom: I need to do the the minimum

Currently the bathrooms is papered with vinyl wallpaper. Can I strip
this off, put up lining paper, and then paint that lining paper to
achieve "a classy, modern look"?

yes. Obviously getting it reskimmed nets a truer surface, but that will work

I hope it well venitaled and/or insulated - cold simngle brick outer
walls are a magnet for condensation.

My walls are all painted where they arent tiled with farrow and ball
matt emulsion.

Its fine.
