ENGLAND star Jude Bellingham is said to be building two houses worth £7million in the West Midlands.
The Real Madrid ace, 21, recently bought a plot of land in affluent Barnt Green, Worcestershire.
Bellingham and his mother, Denise, paid £825,000 for their Barnt Green plot in April last year.
The village is considered among the most prestigious locations in the Midlands and also boasts two upmarket country pubs and a cricket club.
Now, a five-bedroom, four-level home is reportedly being built on Bellingham’s plot, formerly part of the garden of a house which has now been demolished.
The new build will boast a basement area with a cinema, swimming pool, sauna and gym and an entertainment area complete with a bar.

There will be a living space upstairs which includes a large kitchen, five ensuite bedrooms, two lounges and a snug.
Meanwhile, a second, similarly designed five-bed property is being built by the same developer on the spot where the former house stood.
Bellingham’s development is reported to be worth a whopping £7million in total, reports MailOnline.
A woman who lives near the development told the outlet: “The word is that he’s buying one house for his parents and he’s going to have the other. I’m not really into football but everybody’s heard of Bellingham.”

Another resident added: “It’s a very wealthy area and people here appreciate their privacy. There are plenty of footballers in Barnt Green, people don’t bat an eyelid.”
A source told the Mail that Bellingham was keen “to have a base in the country” even though he lives and plays football in Spain.
England midfielder Bellingham is not the only footballer who has investments in the Barnt Green area.
Prem stars Ollie Watkins and Jack Grealish also own properties in the area.
Barnt Green is also home to businessmen such as Gymshark tycoon Ben Francis and singer Jamelia.
Meanwhile, former Manchester United and Aston Villa manager Ron Atkinson is said to live nearby.
The average cost of a detached house is £963,000.
Real Madrid ace Bellingham was a star of the Three Lions run to the final at the Euros this summer.
But he is set to miss the start of England‘s Uefa Nations League campaign after being ruled out for a month with injury.
