If you decide you do want rid of it a good method is to stump it and then apply epsom salt to holes drilled through into it.
See the attached video tutorial.
When I hear people mention potent carcinogens like glyphosate it always makes me shudder as it is absolutely horrible stuff.

Good man that sounds great... Got remember it's my garden so what to do this as clean as I can
 
I have a large eucalyptus with its main trunk about 10m from my conservatory. If it came

down it would wipe it
out. I have the tree checked every couple of years and to cut off all the dead wood up in the canopy. The tree surgeon has no issues with it so my only beef is the tree routinely shedding its bark onto my lawn and borders. :(
 
I've seen quite a few large old trees that have blown over, and the size of the roots has been nowhere near as big. They tend to come up with a saucer-shaped mass of soil and roots.

That's only a fraction of the roots, really just the bottom of the trunk
