All radiators working in new home except for 1

New to us house- one radiator will not work
Boiler works well and is a combi and the majority of the radiators work well and heat the rooms.
The bedroom however is another story.
On one side is a TRV - opened up to 5 there is no heat.
I have looked at the pin under the TRV head and it does move in and out.
The other side is a small valve that is screwed into the brass valve. The pipework coming up to the valve is hot so I presume this is shut. I cannot for the life of me turn this valve even with some grips on it.
I think the valve is stuck perhaps shut or due to inactivity become blocked.
Is it a new valve needed for that side of the radiator you think?
