Change the ball cock and valve assembly. Dirt cheap in Screwfix or B&Q and shouldn't take more than half an hour to remove old one and fit new.

But as others have said it is probably air in the system. which means a drain down and refill. Best to get a plumber in to do it.

Thankfully I don't have to go for the bottom entry valve; the side entry looks favourite  rubschin:

Not the pipes but the water might be if one were to follow a certain route:  Thames Water > English Channel > Bay of Biscay > Straits of Gib. > Western Med. > Eatern Med. > Turkey  rubschin:
Perhaps I've picked an errant Turkish vibe ...
