Default Damp walls - possibly condensation

My daughter's house has a built-in wardrobe in a corner of a bedroom. The corner wall is showing signs of mould and damp. I am initially assuming this is due to the fact that the wall is an exposed corner - the house is 1920's and does not have proper cavities.

Next week I will be taking off the remaining wallpaper in the wardrobe and leaving the sliding doors open and have a fan running to try and fix the immediate symptom.

Has anyone any suggestions about ways of lining the wardrobe to minimise the problem?

The house is well pointed - the guttering is new and the roof is good.
