Glanceri is part of a mid or later nineteenth century row of three workers' houses, probably built for estate workers on the Gogerddan Estate. There are, or were, similar rows in other north Cardiganshire settlements, including Blaenplwyf and Penrhyncoch. This cottage has particular interest because the removal of render from the front elevation in 2004 revealed that this clay-built row was storeyed from the start. Most clay-walled cottages have a single storey, or have been raised, as can be seen elsewhere in Bow Street.
