The answer depends I'm afraid on the wealth of the inhabitant!
Average houses were timber framed which were filled with woven slats and spare wood, this was called the wattle. The gaps in this woven material were filled with daub. This was made out of cattle dung, straw, water, lime and the most gross of all human urine. Yes really!
Windows were a real luxury and were often small. Good examples of tudor houses in this country are Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire - this was built by Bess of Hardwick and is said to contain more windows than any other contemporary house. She apparently wanted to show off her wealth.
A brilliant timber house is Little Moreton Hall.
If you search for Tudor Houses on the net there are loads of examples.

Most people's homes would be timber-framed with 'wattle & daub', that is a mix of mud and woven straw, filling the frame.
However, some noblemen's homes & manor houses would be built from stone, particularly stone taken from the abbeys which had been closed down under Henry VIII.
Some of the finest surviving great houses of that time like Hampton Court and Burghley House are made of stone and brick, which is why they survived.
But for most people, wood was the norm until the late 17th century.

Tudor houses were generally half-timbered, with wood over a material similar to the adobe used in the New World.

My 8 year old friend says they are made of brick and wood beams. They have leaded diamond windows.

I think the plaster was waddle and daub, this was a mixture that was put onto the lathes.
