Cherry Tree Help needed!

Hello
Newbie here. You're probably all going to laugh at my stupidity here, but four years ago I got my first garden (and gradually found out that I'm mad for gardening!) and thought it would be a great idea to plant what I thought was a small cherry tree in the ground. The label called it a patio tree so I figured it would stay small...ha ha ha how silly I was. See below for then and now! My issue is its proximity to that wall behind it - it's a garage and I'm scared the foundations may be getting compromised, so I want it out of the ground and I am going to dig it up once the leaves are gone. I've got nowhere else to put it but can't bear to just throw it out, it's a happy tree! Any suggestions on what I should do with it??

Certainly not laughing at your stupidity - just sighing at the way plants are so poorly labelled. They should have given an idea of the eventual height on that label - you'd need a big patio for a tree of that size!
I suspect that though it's a happy tree now, it may not be so happy once it's dug up... but if you can dig out a reasonable root ball, it may survive in a new position. Do you know a neighbour who'd welcome a free tree? Could you advertise it on Freecycle? Is there a community garden or woodland with room for it?
Thanks
It's grown in a really good shape, so if you can keep it like that, it will be an asset, not a problem
If you haven't got the label, do you remember what variety cherry it is? You could always check on line.
The foundations for most modern garages are surprisingly robust - or should be. Ours are a metre thick.
