Brownshill Green is a suburban hamlet 3.5 miles northwest of Coventry by road, adjacent to the suburbs of Allesley, Coundon and Keresley.
It is bordered on its north side by the northern boundary of Coventry and the Warwickshire village of Corley.
Its main thoroughfare is Brownshill Green Road, which runs from its junction with Coundon Wedge Drive in the north to join Keresley Road in the south.
Brownshill Green is a semi-rural residential area with much housing taking the form of traditional 20th century terrace or semi-detached styles.
However, a combination of the lack of a direct bus service and the proximity of classified roads in the area means that traffic is often much slower than this, particularly during the rush hour.
