Kingswood lies about five miles southeast of Maidstone, tucked into a wooded landscape that once formed part of the historic King’s Wood. It is an unusual village for this part of Kent, as much of its layout was developed during the 1920s and 30s as a "plot-land" settlement, giving it a more open, sylvan character than the older, more tightly packed villages nearby. The village is largely defined by its quiet residential roads - many of which remain unmade - lined with a mix of mid-century bungalows and newer, substantial family homes that sit on generous plots. Community life tends to centre around the village hall and the local shop on Cayser Drive, while the surrounding chestnut and oak woods provide a network of footpaths that lead toward the neighbouring hamlets of Broomfield and Ulcombe. While the village feels secluded, it is practical for daily life; the nearby A20 and M20 provide straightforward access to Ashford and London, though most people head into Maidstone or to the nearby village of Harrietsham for the nearest rail connections.
