He wore a smart, navy coloured jacket underneath a denim shirt and plain white tee, which was styled further with tight black jeans.

Turning heads as he passed by, Benedict strolled along the pebbled path in dark brown leather boots, while he rounded off the proceedings with a black cap and chic glasses.

This is set be his first Christmas since he tied the knot to Sophie on Valentine’s Day before welcoming their son in June.

The actor, who recently wrapped an acclaimed performance as Hamlet at London's Barbican, recently revealed how much he's enjoying parenthood - to the extent he's hoping for more children.

Chatting on the Graham Norton show, the actor said he feels fulfilled by the role and is particularly pleased that he did it the old-fashioned way.

'I’ve become a father and a husband, and in the right order — just,' the performer said.

'It’s everything. I have a new life form that needs his father’s help in the world and his mother needs a little help once in a while,' he continued.

'I might go for a (Cumber) batch of boys! It’s what being a parent is about so it’s not an excuse to get away from what I am doing — it’s what I ought to be doing. After three and half hours of Hamlet, I think that’s okay.'
