Welcome to the world of pixel art!
Firstly, the back side of the roof should be skewed, because of perspective. Secondly, it's usually a good idea to have some kind of background color. This is so you have a good consciousness of what the underlying world would look like.
With the shadow underneath the outset second story of the house, try to use more than just 2 colors, so it looks smoother.
The door and windows are fairly flat, so try to make the inner portions look inset.
You might also want path stones to have a shine to them, to look more round.
I made a rough edit that will hopefully give you an idea of how to accomplish the mentioned critiques.
With all this kept in mind, you're doing rather well for an early piece of art. So, good luck, and remember to keep working at it!
