    Calla Lilies do not like there roots to sit in water.
    You may be overwatering. Your plant should have a well draining pot. Soil damp but not soggy. Feel the soil before watering.
    Also the light conditions may have changed from the greenhouse to your conservatory. They do like full sun.
    Here is a link with more information.

    I do think your plant may need a little more sunlight.
    I would look for a sunnier location for your plant to grow.

    It's only a couple of leaves, so yes you can cut the leaves from the plant.

    This is root rot. Your bulb essentially is rotting and should be discarded.
    Well draining soil is essential so that the bulb and roots do not sit in water.
    Here are a couple of great links.

    If you suspect that it is not getting enough light, this is likely the issue. They do need lots of light. If you can get it more light, do so.

    You may also be giving it too much water. It does need to be kept moist but should not be in standing water.
