Yeah, the sellers left a little note saying "water turned off - stopcock outside bathroom" which didn't mention the isolators or anything (or the presence of a further stopcock/valve).
There is indeed a stopcock outside the bathroom so you'd assume that would be it?
Don't really know why they bothered, the house was only vacant for about 20 minutes!

Sounds like you're missing another stopcock.
If there are isolators for each tap they may have, for some weird reason, turned off all of them as well.
There will be a Thames Water stopcock somewhere in the street as well, but if it's a shared supply from the road you can assume that it's switched on. However my last flat was a block but we each had our own thames water stopcock (and meter) in the pavement outside.
