Would it be ok to grow a Euculyptus tress in my front garden, about 5ft from front of my house, ie would roots become a problem for the foundations of my older house that was built in 1860?

Not something I would recommend either for the reasons Andy has given.

I had to have ours cut down, I kept it well pruned until I was ill and it just raced away.

unless you have acers of garden ofcourse there one of the tallest growing type of trees on the planet and as said they do it quickly . also grown trees have a tendancy to blow over a lot more than most trees .

Unless you plan to keep the tree reduced to 6-8 feet tall, i'd be very concerned. They can easily reach 80 feet tall and they get there very very quickly. I certainly wouldn't do it.
