Default Clematis on a dead tree

Hi
I have a fifteen foot tall Horse Chestnut tree in my garden and it's
becoming too big for my garden. I fancy killing it and then growing
clematis over the dead body (I saw the same thing in Lawrence Sterne's
garden in Coxwold and adored it!) but would welcome suggestions from people.
For a start how would I go about killing the tree while retaining its shape?
Are there any issues I should be thinking about?
Thanks in advance!
