In the parish of Alberbury with Cardeston, near the village of Halfway House on the Shrewsbury to Welshpool road, the castle was probably built in the late 13th century for Sir Richard Corbet. It comprised a square two storey tower surrounded by a moated enclosure with a fishpond.

It was bought by the Leighton family circa 1501 and used as their chief residence until circa 1711. At that time an adjoining farm building was constructed and named Wattlesborough Hall.
