1947. Cornwall. Nancherrow. Winter, snow, food rationing and no servants. Edgar has died. Loveday now owns Nancherrow. She jumps to the conclusion that Edgar’s dying wish was to keep Nancherrow going at all costs. Loveday is determined ... Nancherrow is her son, Nat’s inheritance.

Meanwhile, Judith finds that life as a doctor’s wife isn’t as sweet as she’d imagined. Jeremy is constantly working - she is desperate to conceive. While Jeremy works, his dashing partner, Ronnie Cox, comforts Judith. Ronnie’s wife knows he is a good doctor – and a philanderer too.

Loveday’s marriage to Walter is failing. Without intimacy, Walter cannot understand his wife’s obsession with Nancherrow and is drawn to Nesta, a Londoner in love with Cornwall.

In London, Diana’s social life is reaching new heights. Meanwhile, Loveday finds Gus in an art gallery run by the gorgeous Alex Gower and before they know what’s happening, they are in his bed making love. Loveday soon discovers that Gus lives with Alex, when they are interrupted. As Loveday runs out of the door making excuses, Alex
confronts Gus.

Returning to Nancherrow her marriage to Walter soon ends in divorce and Gus joins her at Nancherrow. Walter opens a successful business on the estate. To maintain Nancherrow, Loveday and Diana open the house to the public. It is a great success.

When Jeremy stands as chairman of the new local Health Service, Judith is even more depressed and Jeremy’s partner, Ronnie Cox, shows his true colours. Jeremy, for once home early, saves Judith’s honour and their marriage.

Then Nat is struck down with polio, his anxious parents Loveday and Walter put their petty quarrels behind them and Jeremy’s medical expertise saves him.

Loveday eventually learns of Edgar’s dying wish - that he wanted rid of Nancherrow and, sadly, she decides to sell. A surprise buyer provides a happy ending, heralded by wedding bells for Gus and Loveday.
