First off all, the inner black lines, those are no-nos in Pixel Art.
Might want to change them in a lighter shade of grey.
Those from the window with a darker.
And the black outlines definatly a darker grey shade.
Try and take a look at other isometric pixel art.
Black is a no-no!

Hi xXx. Youve got quite a nice amount of detail going here, never be afraid to pack the detail in. PandaPlanet is right with using black for lines, it really make things look cartoonish and can make things look very separate from eachother.

I think you're a couple of pixels out with the edging youve added on top of the roof, because it sticks out further on the right end than it does the left. And that black outline kills it pretty badly, so I'd do away with it if I were you.

The window seems strange, if this is just a wall then shouldnt white show through the bars because of the white background? Also the door is recessed very deeply into the wall, when you look at the actual thickness of the wall along the top it doesnt seem right.
