About as good as domestic gets 

park under it easy days work, 

£1250 + vat 

Id pay that.  Lot of effort but straightforward job.  If a good root ball standard chosen,  call it 2 grand to put in to completion. K

As others have already stated that is not a tree, given its size & location (overgrown & outgrown) worthy of doing anything else but fell, remove & grind out stump.

Unless you are desperate for work I wouldn't really consider quoting for anything else. There is no pruning or reduction you can do to that tree that would leave you feeling satisfied & content with your work, that would do your customer justice for the money they will have to pay and make the aspect of that house or the neighborhood look any better.

The sentimental value of the tree is an unfortunate wrinkle, but it is not a rare magnificent specimen tree in the grounds of a historic stately home of national importance, it's a massively overgrown shitty Conny in a ridiculously tiny front garden of a non descript ubiquitous late 20th century housing estate. 

For sentimental reasons finding another use for the timber once felled is an option worth exploring, but I wouldn't want to waste anytime on any other option than complete removal.

 

Alternatively you could cut it square & leave it as a green wall. Cut the height down to the level of the roof's ridge tiles, cut the LHS in line with the wall of the house, and the RHS level with the footpath to the front door. Do it undercover of darkness and no sign written plant or machinery! Take money and run... ?
