After announcing their split earlier this year, Georgia Love and Lee Elliot have sold their Melbourne townhouse.

The estranged couple, who met on the 2016 season of Channel 10's The Bachelorette, took the property at 63a Wickham Road to auction on June 21.

The four-bedroom house in Hampton East had an auction guide of $1.5 million to $1.58 million.

It was listed with Hodges Real Estate Sandringham agents Angus Graham and Jack Rayner.

The property passed in at auction, but was sold after negotiations for an undisclosed price.

Cotality records indicate the property sold in the vicinity of $1.58 million, earning the former couple a tidy profit of around $230,000.

Radio host Love, 35, and Elliot, 43, purchased the property in October 2021 for $1.35 million, six months after their wedding in Tasmania.

It appears there is no bad blood between the pair who attended the auction together and were spotted celebrating the sale afterwards at a nearby cafe.

The sale follows a joint announcement from Love and Elliot posted on social media in February confirming the end of their four-year marriage.

"After nine wonderful years together, including four as husband and wife, [we] have made the incredibly difficult decision to lovingly part ways," the post read.

"Our relationship has been so special and we will always cherish the memories, love, and laughter we've shared.

"There is no drama, no bad blood. Just two people who have grown in different directions while still holding deep respect and care for each other.

"We remain friends and we'd really appreciate our privacy as we navigate this next stage. Thank you".

According to Cotality, the median price of a house in Hampton East is $831,000.

Less than 20 kilometres from Melbourne CBD, Lee and Elliot's marital home included four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area.

The vast master bedroom occupied almost half of the top floor, including a dressing room, a dual vanity ensuite with a freestanding bathtub and a private balcony.
