This tree outside has for several years caused movement issues to my porch structure and now the brick part that houses my gas meter and electric fuse box has pulled away from the house. The path has visible the roots across and is raised. The branches are touching my house now and I've had squirrels get into the loft space. This particular tree is 2 or 3 times bigger than others along Twelvetree Avenue. The address is 138 Wainwright.
