Some years ago, maybe five or six, the previous owner of this house
planted outdoors a small pine tree which had served indoors as a
Christmas Tree.

But unfortunately this little pine tree was planted about 10 feet from
the side of the house. It is now well established and healthy but it
has now reached a height of about 8 feet.

Get rid of it. It won't regrow from old wood, any pruning will
merely make it look a mess, and it will start to be a serious problem
in other 5-10 years if left alone.
