Benedict’s Sherlock co-star Martin Freeman, alongside Imitation Game co-star Keira Knightley will also be in attendance, at the period property on the Isle.

Three months ago Cumberbatch announced their engagements in a traditional ‘Forthcoming Marriages’ notice in The Times, and just four weeks later the couple announced they were expecting their first child.

A source close to the pair said they were keen to have their nuptials before the baby arrived, and sent out invitations via email due to the short time frame they were working with.

Family and friends have been sworn to secrecy about the day, to try and prevent over-zealous fans and press from attempting to gain access to the area.

Sophie and Benedict had known each other for five years before becoming an item in 2014. Just a few months later they became engaged, and are now expecting their first child.
