Well....it was like going back to DaggerFall....just emptier.....it actually hurt my eyes. Sorry man, I know you're excited, but you should keep working on it, then put it up here.
It is your first mod and you were excited to post it, I get it. But please understand these points: First mods usually mean serious bugs. If I can't at least have a look at the house, how can I decide it is worth the time to check it out? Descriptions are important for two reasons. First it explains what kind of house it is. But most importantly, second, it shows that you have actually put dedication in your creation.
Don't let this misstep put you off though. Upload images and write something about your mod.
No, the mod author made a mistake. If you can't post a description of your mod, then why should anyone take the time to piece the mystery together? It's just a waste of everyone's time. No description, no images, no videos, etc. They took the time to upload an image of the Skyrim menu screen, but can take a screen capture of their own mod?
Honestly, adding a description and some images should definitely be a priority of yours. I worked hours upon hours on my first (and only) house mod and I'm sure you did too, however I think that presentation is just as important when we upload our mods to a site like the nexus. If we have enough time to build a home in the creation kit surely we can afford to spend a little more to add a proper explanation of what the mod does and some screenshots, right? Otherwise, how can we truly say we're dedicated if we can't be bothered with that.
To your description you could add where your house is, what it looks like inside and out, what crafting stations are available and how players can obtain the key for it if it requires one. Also mention any special features that would make your house stand out from others. I've come to see the description as a sales pitch of sorts - write a good one and people will download your mod! :)
If you for some reason are unable to take screenshots, I can offer to do that for you.

You will find the house here:
the inside is very basic:
Its big enough and has lot of space but at the moment it only contains a few crafting option such as smelting, enchanting ...
Not worth the download until a bit more work is done.
Edit: the esp itself is test.esp
