How on earth do I find it, without employing a plumber (not that I've

It's not under the kitchen sink.

Well its possible there is no internal stopcock. However there usually
is. It may be in an adjacent cabinet in the kitchen - sometimes happens
when layouts change.

There may be an external stopcock under flap in the ground. If there is
a water meter, there may be one adjacent to that.

Can you follow the cold pipe back from the kitchen tap to the place it
enters the house?
