At first it seems like nothing is happening. The story centers on two families, the Schlegels and the Wilcoxies.
Margaret and Helen Schlegel are self-sufficient, educated young women with a stable income to live in London and enjoy an intellectual and cultural life.
The Wilcoxies live the life of a traditional patriarchal family. Mr. Wilcox is a practical businessman and a director of a rubber company. Although his wife, Mrs. Wilcox, is distinguished by wisdom, a connection to the earth and an ability to perceive the beauty of nature, the children took after their father.
In Germany, the Wilcoxes meet the Schlegel family - sisters Margaret and Helen and their brother Tibby. Sisters and brother are attached to each other, always cheerful and witty.
Younger sister Helen is invited to stay at Howards End and begins an affair with one of Wilcox's sons, Paul. Driven by passion, Paul proposes to her. However, the next morning, Paul Wilcox says that it was a momentary impulse and suggests forgetting about everything.
A month later, the Wilcoxes and the Schlegels cross paths again. The Wilcoxes rented an apartment in London directly opposite the windows of the Schlegels' apartment. The eldest of the sisters, Margaret Schlegel, pays a courtesy call on Ruth Wilcox. Yearning for companionship, seriously ill and alone among her family, Madame Wilcox becomes passionately attached to Margaret, has long conversations with her, talks about her childhood home, Howards End, about the beauty of its nature and even wants to take Margaret there. Realizing that no one from her own family is able to appreciate her beloved estate, she bequeaths it to Margarita Schlegel.
After Ruth's death, the Wilcox family council decides to destroy the will and not tell Margaret Schlegel anything about it. The head of the family, Henry, asks Margaret for help in choosing a new London apartment. They become close to such an extent that widower Henry invites Margaret to become his wife. After thinking a little, she accepts the unexpected offer.
Meanwhile, the sisters meet clerk Leonard Bast, who impresses them with his outlook and breadth of interests. Margaret invites the Bast couple to the wedding of Henry's daughter. Bast's wife, under the influence of intoxication, loses control of herself and loudly recognizes the owner of the house, Henry Wilcox, as her former lover. A scandal breaks out.
Helen, who does not approve of Margaret's rapprochement with the Wilcoxes and her marriage, is preparing to move away from all these troubles - to Germany. On the eve of departure, spending time on the river in the company of Bast, she cannot refuse his closeness. It turns out that unmarried Elena is expecting a child. Charles Wilcox is the first to guess that the child's father is Bast. And when Bast appears in Howards End, Charles attacks him in rage. During the skirmish, Bast's weak heart cannot stand it and he dies. Charles is taken into custody and sentenced to three years in prison.
The epilogue shows that Margaret and Henry, despite all the misadventures that befell them, continue to live in Howards End with Helen, who is raising her child. Henry reveals to Margaret the secret of Ruth's will and promises that after his death the estate will definitely pass to Margaret.
