Back to the question, the architrave at least looks in good nick, so a rub down and maybe a coat of primer (I'm not to familiar with water based paints.... shows you how long it is since I painted woodwork!) then a top coat should give a good finish.
Primer only on bare timber, otherwise it would be undercoat.

OK, is that good for water based over what presumably was oil based paint?
I would say Yes.

Not something I'd have to worry about anymore either.

Probably won't have any lead in it, then. Our house, Victorian, had dark green paint and even some dark green wallpaper (think arsenic compounds, let alone lead based paints)

Unless it's proper Victorian era wallpaper, very unlikely azo dyes invented a long time ago.

It was proper Victorian wallpaper. We had a bit tested (admittedly by a science teacher, not a lab) and he confirmed it
