    Fit a flush faced door, remove architraves and wallpaper the entire wall and door.  Ironmongery as described by the OP should do the rest.  Regarding the skirting board, simply leaving a gap of about 1" (thickness of the skirting board) at the hinge end of the door, and putting skirting on the rest, should overcome that issue.
    I hadn't considered wallpaper at all. But wouldn't the movement in the doorframe that Doozergirl mentioned cause the wall paper to rip?

    think wallpaper is at risk of fraying edges.....unless there is a solution to that!
