Prune or remove sycamore tree?

We just bought a house with a sycamore within our boundary and are unsure whether to A) prune it yearly to keep it small or B) completely get rid due to its placement. The red brick wall is our garden wall and the strip with flint is our property, both next to the public footpath and road.

From my research, I understand that sycamores are a nightmare and will sprout wherever their seeds drop and we don’t want to be pulling saplings out of our garden and brickwork every year. I also understand that they can grow very large and have vast root structures which could damage our garden wall and property foundations.

That being said, it is very pretty and I do like it but is keeping it going to cause more issues than it’s worth? Are there any other species that would be better suited? TIA
