The cold water stopcock is under the kitchen cupboards and is the usual
nightmare to get to. I'm not getting any younger and sometimes wonder about
turning off the cold water if something bad happened.
Has anybody had experience or opinions with this?

I think a good idea from the view point of you access problem. But, the
main stopcock may seize up due to lack of use. If you can, try to turn it
at least once a year to prevent this.

If you have a modern combined stop cock and
meter housing then the stop cock is just a 90 degree
arrangement with a plastic key to operate it.
