I tried 'sudo ifconfig enp0s10 down' which correctly knocked the wired
ethernet offline [another bit of Mint weirdness it doesn't use eth0],
however 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' gave an error
It took me a bit of getting used to but I now quite like the new network naming scheme.
More details here:
It should now make sense that "wlan0" is not the device you'd need to ifconfig.

Thanks Grant, I understand now. It looks as if there /is/ no wireless device at all, so I'm totally stumped.
(base) julian@CERCE:~$ iwconfig
enp0s10 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
I still don't understand what enp0s10 is supposed to mean though. For my purposes eth0 and wlan0 work perfectly well. Output of ifconfig below with nothing other than the wired connection and loopback listed.
