[1] Around 1716 a new hall was built in a more elevated position on the site of the present mansion some 0.75 miles (1 km) to the west.

[7] Wilbraham bought a number of fine paintings, and many items of furniture made by Gillows of Lancaster.

[5] The main body of the hall and the family wing to the west, both in two storeys, are built in ashlar Runcorn sandstone with slate and lead roofs.

The additions of 1884 (family entrance hall and smoking room) are faced in yellow terracotta.

The east front has five bays with Corinthian pilasters on a slightly projecting plinth and an entablature above.

It is decorated in neoclassical style with a marble floor, red porphyry Ionic columns and a geometric coffered, tunnel vaulted ceiling.

On each side of a central niche are marble busts of the Duke of Wellington and William Pitt the Younger on columns.

The largest painting in the entrance hall is The Cheshire Hunt, 1839 by Henry Calvert.

Paintings in the room include La Gouvernante by Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, The Head of an Old Man, 1639 by Abraham Bloemaert, A Farrier's by Philips Wouwerman, and Head of Nicodemus after Rogier van der Weyden.

[3][10] On the other side of the Entrance Hall is the Music Room whose walls are decorated with cherry-coloured silk damask.

The fireplace is made from white marble and is decorated with images of musical instruments and motifs.

The paintings include pieces by Gaspard Dughet, Aernout van der Neer, Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, and Guercino, and two still life paintings by Jan Davidszoon de Heem and Cornelis de Heem.

[12] The paintings include two views of Venice by Canaletto, The Sacrifice of Noah by Nicolas Poussin, The Martyrdom of St. Stephen by Anthony van Dyck, and paintings by Annibale Carracci and Giovanni Battista Cimaroli.

Some of the books are unbound and in their original paper covers, including first editions of two novels by Jane Austen.

This is a survival from the original house and is decorated in rococo style designed by Thomas Farnolls Pritchard.

On its floor is an Axminster carpet with an unusual design showing celestial objects and the signs of the Zodiac for the winter months.

They portray ten of the leading gentlemen of the county who met together at Ashley Hall to decide whether to support George I or James Stuart in the Jacobite rising of 1715.

These contain the usual rooms required to service a mansion and many of these are furnished with the equipment and utensils formerly in use in the house.

[25] In the basement of Tatton Hall is a 400 mm gauge coal railway supplied by Decauville.

[3] The hall is financed on behalf of the National Trust by Cheshire East Council.
