The 40-foot conservatory in stone and glass is reputed to be the finest of its kind in England.

History
The earlier house on the site, part medieval and part Jacobean, was rebuilt in 1798 before being refaced in Ancaster stone during the 1853–57 remodelling for T. B. T. Hildyard. The Hildyard family has held Flintham for generations.
Architecture
T. C. Hine's remodelling combined brick, render and ashlar under hipped and gabled roofs, wrapping the earlier fabric on three sides. The Italianate scheme gave the house its stone-and-glass conservatory, an unusually grand feature for a private country house.
Worth knowing
The house was home to Myles Hildyard, a member of the Hildyard family.
