Movie filter: tall family who lives in a castle?

I feel silly burning a question on this, but it's driving me crazy :-) Help me find information about a family I saw in a documentary who live in a castle and are all very tall...
It was on YouTube or Netflix, and I can't recall if the focus of the documentary was 'people who are very tall' or 'people who live in castles.' But here is what I remember:
- The family was some level of British nobility technically, but the parents had regular jobs and didn't make a big deal of it. The castle had been in the husband's family for a long time.
- They had at least two children, and the children, like both of the parents, we're all extremely tall. They were not Guiness Records level of tall, but they were taller than the average person.
- A portion of the documentary talked about the deficiencies of castle structure for very tall people e.g. the height of the doorways was not sufficient, and I believe they had invested some money in retrofitting parts of the castle to better suit their height.
Somehow the subject of castles came up in our home the other night, and I mentioned this story. Now, I can find no information online to back it up. So, was this a figment of my imagination, or can anyone help me find a link to the documentary, or even a news story about it?

Are you sure it's a documentary? Because it sounds like you could be describing I Capture the Castle, which is a novel that was made into a film about ten years ago.
