Help on interpreting Title Plan (picture attached)

Hi, I would be very grateful for any help in explaining the extract from a title plan below.
I am looking to buy the house shown in yellow below. I bought this title plan from the land registry gov website. I also bought the title deed but there was no useful info in it. I have shaded the house yellow and a stream in blue for clarity. The red shading was on the title plan.
I am unable to figure out
(1) why the full boundaries of the house is not shaded in red as usual
(2) why is a triangular red area marked in the middle of the garden (this red is not my shading)
(3) why is there a wavey black line connecting the front of the two houses - I have pointed it out with a green line. There is nothing actually on the site when I visited
I viewed the house today and it is a fairly standard semi-detached house in a close and the rear garden goes all the way to the stream. The triangular shaded area as far as I could see was part of the garden and nothing special with no structure or anything over it. It was just overgrown with weeds as was the rest of the garden.
My wife is into gardening and we were looking for a house with a large rear garden and this appeared to be perfect but the below is confusing me - what is the real extent of the garden that belongs to this house? Either it is really a very large garden that even goes behind the neighbours garden boundaries or it is a really small garden. I can ask the estate agent and will do so but the sellers are away for a few weeks and I am unlikely to get an answer soon so hoping someone here may know offhand what this is all about.

I presume what you've got there is the title deed for the area outlined in red. Doesn't the text say as much? So you'll need to find the other part(s) which comprise the remainder of the title.The "wavy line" appears to be whatever the physical boundary was which the Ordnance Survey mapped. So presumably a fence or wall which used to be there. Nothing to do with the title0

Showing us the Plan without the associated text makes it impossible to comment.But on the face of it, what you are buying is the triangular area of land enclosed by the red lines.0

Yep, looks like additional land that was purchased at some point and so is on a separate title. You need the title and plan for the house not the land at.1

How old is the house? Have the sellers been there a long time? That’s definitely the title for an extra piece of garden, if the house itself isn’t coming up on the Land Registry it could be unregistered. Which would be explained if the sellers bought over 30 or so years ago and bought the extra garden after this1

Looks like the stream has changed course at some point..0
