1950s development on part of the Denbies Estate. The original plan had been to extend the road by extending it back on itself north of here, to run north of Yew Tree Road along the edge of what is known as Ten Acre Field, but this was blocked by the planners in 1954. The intended route is now a public footpath. The name of the road presumably commemorates Sonia Keppel, who in 1920 had married Roland Cubitt, later to become 3rd Baron Ashcombe, whose family seat was Denbies. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is their grandaughter.
